ABSTRACT 

A  discussion  is  presented  of  response  spectra  for  single-degree-of- 
freedom  systems  subjected  to  different  forms  of  ground  excitation. 

In  the  study  of  elastic  systems,  the  sensitivity  of  the  response  to  variations 
in  the  detailed  characteristics  of  the  input  motion  is  discussed.  For  each 
class  of  forcing  function,  simple  approximate  rules  are  presented  for  the 
construction  of  response  spectra  for  undamped  systems.  Simple  rules  are 
described  for  the  construction  of  spectra  for  complex  input  functions  by 
compounding  the  spectra  for  the  "dominant"  component  pulses  of  the  input 
function. 

In  the  studies  of  inelastic  systems,  primary  attention  is  given  to  elasto- 
plastic  systems  and,  in  an  exploratory  way,  to  bilinear  systems  of  the 
softening  type.  Response  spectra  are  presented  from  which  the  yield 
resistance  required  to  limit  the  maximum  deformation  of  the  system  to  a 
prescribed  multiple  of  its  limiting  elastic  deformation  can  be  determined 
directly. 

The  maximum  deformation  of  an  inelastic  system  is  related  to  that  of  an 
elastic  system  having  the  same  initial  slope  in  its  resistance-deformation 
diagram  and,  for  certain  conditions,  simple  design  rules  are  formulated  for 
the  construction  of  deformation  spectra  for  elastoplastic  systems  in  terms  of 
the  corresponding  spectra  for  the  associated  elastic  systems.

INTRODUCTION 


1.1  Objective*  of  Program 

The  broad  objectives  of  this  program  were  to  develop  information 
regarding  the  response  of  equipment  in  underground  Installations  when  sub¬ 
jected  to  the  effects  of  the  ground  motions  induced  by  a  nuclear  detonation, 
to  evaluate  the  influence  and  relative  importance  of  the  various  factors 
affecting  the  response,  and  to  present  simplified  design  rules  far  specific 
conditions. 

If  the  input  motion  for  a  system  is  prescribed  as  a  function  of 
time,  it  is  generally  recognised  that  the  response  of  the  system  can  be 
computed  in  a  straightforward  manner  by  integration  of  the  governing 
differential  equations  of  motion,  no  matter  how  complicated  the  motion  or 
the  system  may  be.  However,  such  computations  are  generally  time-consuming 
and  are  not  very  appropriate  for  purposes  of  preliminary  design.  The  principal 
aim  of  this  study  was  to  establish  a  body  of  basic  information  and  simplified 
rules  which  would  enable  the  designer  to  arrive  at  a  reasonable  estimate  of 
the  significant  effects  of  a  prescribed  motion,  and  to  assess  the  engineering 
significance  of  the  various  parameters  influencing  the  response  of  the  system 
without  the  need  for  elaborate  computations.  Inasmuch  as  the  detailed 
characteristics  of  the  input  motion  are  affected  by  a  large  number  of  uncon¬ 
trollable  factors,  a  special  effort  has  been  made  to  investigate  the 
sensitivity  of  the  response  to  the  uncertainties  involved  in  defining  the 
input  data. 

The  study  is  based  on  the  concept  of  the  response  spectrin,  and 
covers  both  elastic  and  inelastic  systems  with  or  without  damply.  In  this 


1-1 


report,  only  systems  having  a  single  degree  of  freedom  are  considered. 

However,  the  Information  presented  can  also  he  used  In  conjunction  with  the 
modal  method  of  analysis  to  evaluate  the  response  of  multi -degree -of- freedom 
elastic  systems  for  which  the  natural  modes  of  vibration  can  be  uncoupled. 

The  study  of  Inelastic  systems  is  devoted  mainly  to  elastoplastlc  systems  and, 
in  an  exploratory  way,  to  systems  with  a  bilinear  resistance  of  the  softening 
type. 

There  are  two  important  considerations  in  the  design  of  the 
foundation  far  a  piece  of  equipment.  First,  the  foundation  itself  must  have 
sufficient  strength  to  withstand  the  forces  that  are  developed  in  it  without 
failure,  and  secondly,  the  accelerations  or  motions  that  are  transmitted  to 
the  equipment  and  its  parts  must  not  be  so  severe  as  to  cause  damage  to  it, 
or  to  interfere  with  its  operation.  It  follows  then  that  response  spectra 
are  needed  both  for  the  maximum  deformation  of  the  system  and  for  the  absolute 
displacement,  velocity  and  acceleration  of  its  mass.  The  latter  information 
may  also  be  used  to  define  the  peak  values  of  the  motion  experienced  by  the 
base  of  a  light  system  mounted  on  a  structure  that  may  itself  respond  under 
the  action  of  the  shock. 

If  the  piece  of  equipment  is  attached  to  a  part  of  the  structure 
that  experiences  essentially  the  same  motion  as  the  base  of  the  structure  in 
which  it  is  housed,  then  the  equipment  may  be  designed  for  the  shock  spectrum 
applicable  to  the  input  motion.  However,  if  it  is  mounted  on  a  flexible 
element  such  as  a  beam  or  floor,  which  aay  itself  respond  under  the  influence 
of  the  shock,  then  both  the  intensity  end  the  time-history  of  the  motion  at 
the  bate  of  the  equipment  may  be  significantly  different  from  the  original 
input  notion,  and  the  maxleun  response  of  the  system  can  no  longer  be 


1-2 


determined  from  the  shock  spectrum  corresponding  to  the  base  input.  It  Is 
obvious  that  the  extent  to  which  the  Input  motion  Is  modified  Is  a  function 
both  of  the  characteristics  of  the  structure  and  of  the  equipment  and  of  its 
mode  of  attachment  to  the  structure.  This  problem  of  the  Interaction  between 
the  motions  of  the  equipment  and  of  the  supporting  structure  has  been  given 
some  attention  under  this  program,  but  the  results  of  this  effort  will  be 
reported  separately.  Throughout  this  report,  the  characteristics  of  the  motion 
at  the  base  of  the  system  under  investigation  are  assumed  to  be  known. 

1.2  Outline  of  Studies 

The  studies  described  here  can  be  classified  into  two  groups.  The 
first  group  is  concerned  with  the  response  of  elastic  systems,  with  or  without 
damping,  having  a  single  degree  of  freedom.  The  input  motions  considered 
included  several  pulse-type  excitations,  approximating  the  primary  or  main 
component  of  the  ground  motion  associated  with  a  nuclear  explosion,  and  two 
strong-motion  earthquake  records  representing  examples  of  extremely  coaq>lex 
ground  motions.  The  pulse-type  of  excitations  include  acceleration  functions 
composed  of  from  one-half  to  four  cycles  of  oscillation,  with  corresponding 
displacement  functions  having  from  one -quarter  of  a  cycle  to  one  complete 
cycle  of  oscillation.  The  response  quantities  studied  include  the  spring 
deformation,  the  relative  velocity  between  the  mass  and  the  ground,  and  the 
absolute  displacement,  absolute  velocity,  sad  absolute  acceleration  ocf  the  mass. 

The  objectives  of  these  studies  were: 

(a)  To  assess  the  sensitivity  of  the  various  response  quantities  to 
variations  in  such  parameters  as  the  shape,  rise  time,  and  periodicity  of  the 
input  function. 

(b)  To  develop  siaplifled  design  rules  for  the  construction  of  response 

spectra  for  the  various  response  quantities  to  a  greater  degree  of  accuracy 
than  has  been  possible  previously. 


1-5 


(c)  To  formulate  procedures  for  the  construction  of  response  spectra 
for  fairly  Involved  input  functions  by  synthesising  the  spectre  for  a  series 
of  simple  component  inputs. 

(d)  To  study  the  effect  of  viscous  damping. 

The  approach  used  v&s  briefly  as  follows.  First,  the  response  of 
undamped  systems  to  pulse -like  excitations  and  to  a  combination  of  simple 
pulses  was  investigated  for  a  vide  range  of  the  parameters  involved,  and,  on 
the  basis  of  the  information  obtained,  simple  approximate  rules  were  formulated 
for  the  construction  of  response  spectra  for  the  various  response  quantities. 
Hext,  the  effect  of  viscous  damping  was  studied  for  systems  with  coefficients 
of  damping  up  to  100  percent  critical  subjected  to  pulse-like  excitations. 
Finally,  to  check  the  applicability  of  the  approximate  rules  developed  to 
inputs  of  extreme  complexity,  the  response  of  undamped  and  daaped  systems 
subjected  to  earthquake  motions  was  studied.  The  earthquake  motions  were  tamed 
in  preference  to  ground  shock  records  because  they  are  of  greater  complexity 
than  those  associated  with  a  nuclear  explosion,  and  consequently  provide  a 
severe  test  on  the  adequacy  of  the  approximate  rules . 

The  response  spectra  far  the  earthquake  motions  were  evaluated  for 
a  much  wider  range  of  natural  frequencies  than  has  been  customary  in  previous 
studies  of  earthquake  effects,  so  that  these  spectra  could  be  correlated  with 
those  corresponding  to  the  sljg>le  pulses.  It  is  shown  that,  even  for  ground 
motions  of  the  complexity  of  strong  motion  earthquake  records,  the  response 
spectra  are  similar  to  those  for  the  simple  pulses,  and  that  their  salient 
features  can  be  estimated  with  reasonable  accuracy  from  the  spectra  for  the 
simple  pulses,  provided  the  gross  characteristics  of  the  acceleration,  velocity 
and  displacement  diagrams  of  the  ground  are  known. 


In  the  analysis  of  multi  -degree-of -freedom  elastic  systems  by  the 


use  of  response  spectra,  an  upper  bound  to  the  maximum  response  can  be  obtained 
by  taking  the  sum  of  the  absolute  values  of  the  maximum  response  in  the  various 
natural  modes.  This  approach  overestimates  the  response.  Under  some  conditions, 
a  better  estimate  can  be  made  by  taking  the  square  root  of  the  sum  of  the 
squares  of  the  modal  responses,  but  the  sign  of  the  error  cannot  be  determined 
with  this  approach.  A  much  lover  upper  bound  may  be  obtained  if  the  maximum 
positive  and  the  maximum  negative  values  of  the  response  of  single -degree -of - 
freedom  systems  are  known  separately,  both  far  the  forced-vibration  and  the 
free -vibration  eras  of  the  motion.  A  representative  number  of  such  spectra  is 
Included  in  this  report.  In  addition  to  being  useful  in  the  analysis  of 
systems  with  more  than  one  degree  of  freedom,  these  generalised  spectra  provide 
a  great  deal  of  insight  into  the  behavior  of  the  system,  and  enable  one  to 
synthesise  the  response  spectrum  corresponding  to  a  sequence  or  combination  of 
simple  pulses  from  the  spectra  applicable  to  the  individual  pulses  of  the 
input  motion. 

The  second  group  of  studies  performed  was  concerned  mainly  with  the 
response  of  sizzle-degree -of -freedom  elastoplastlc  systems  having  equal  yield 
levels  in  the  two  directions  of  deformation.  Some  consideration  was  also  given 
to  systems  with  a  bilinear  resistance  of  the  softening  type.  For  these  systems, 
only  the  deformation  of  the  spring  was  investigated.  The  parameters 

studied  Include  the  characteristics  of  the  input  motion,  and  the  natural 
frequency,  yield  point  deformation,  and  damping  of  the  systems.  The  input 
motions  considered  include  several  pulae-like  excitations  and  the  two  strong- 
motion  earthquake  records  used  in  the  study  of  slastlc  systems.  Furthermore, 
as  an  aid  in  tha  interpr station  of  the  results,  the  effects  of  an  instantaneous 


1-5 


displacement  change,  an  instantaneous  velocity  change,  and  an  instantaneous 
acceleration  change  were  studied  in  detail. 

The  results  are  summarized  in  the  form  of  response  spectra  from 
which  the  yield  resistance  required  to  limit  the  maximum  deformation  of  the 
system  to  a  prescribed  multiple  of  its  limiting  elastic  deformation  can  be 
determined  directly.  On  the  basis  of  the  information  presented,  simple  design 
rules  are  formulated  under  certain  conditions  for  the  construction  of  deformation 
spectra  for  elastoplastic  systems  in  terms  of  the  corresponding  spectra  for 
elastic  systems  having  the  same  initial  slope  in  their  resistance-deformation 
diagrams. 

All  response  quantities  are  presented  in  dimensionless  form,  in 
terms  of  the  maximum  value  of  the  appropriate  input  motion,  so  that  revised 
input  data  can  be  treated  readily  as  they  became  available. 

Section  2  deals  with  the  response  of  elastic  systems,  and  Section  3 
with  the  response  of  inelastic  Bystems.  The  numerical  data  used  to  construct 
the  response  spectra  presented  in  this  report  are  tabulated  in  Appendix  A. 
Included  in  this  Appendix  is  also  a  brief  account  of  the  method  of  solution 
used.  Finally,  in  Appendix  B  is  given  a  sumsary  of  expressions  for  the 
computation  of  various  response  quantities  of  single -degree -of- freedom  elastic 
systems  with  damping.

SECTION  2 


RESPONSE  Of  SgOLB-DBQREl -OF -FREEDOM  ELASTIC  SYSTEMS 


2.1  8ysten  Considered 

The  system  considered  consists  of  a  rigid  mass,  m,  connected  to  a 
base  by  a  weightless  elastic  spring  and  a  dashpot  exerting  a  resisting  force 
which  is  proportional  to  the  relative  velocity  between  the  mass  and  the  base, 
as  shown  in  Fig.  2.1.  The  spring  constant  is  denoted  by  k  and  the  coefficient 
of  viscous  damping  by  c.  It  is  assumed  that  the  mass  can  move  only  in  the 
direction  of  the  spring  so  that  the  system  has  a  single  degree  of  freedom. 

The  base  of  the  system  will  also  be  referred  to  as  the  ground. 

The  absolute  displacement  of  the  mass  is  denoted  by  x,  the  absolute 
displacement  of  the  ground  by  y,  and  the  relative  displacement  between  the 
mass  sad  the  ground,  the  spring  deformation,  is  denoted  by  u,  l.e., 

u  -  x  -  y  (2.1) 

Both  x  and  y  refer  to  the  same  inertial  frame  of  reference,  and  their  positive 
directions  coincide.  Tbs  quantity  u  Is  taken  as  positive  when  It  produces 
tension  in  the  spring.  For  a  fixed-base  system  acted  upon  by  an  exciting 
force,  the  spring  deformation,  which  is  also  equal  to  the  absolute  displace¬ 
ment  of  the  mass,  is  designated  by  x.  A  dot  superscript  denotes  differentia¬ 
tion  with  respect  to  time.  For  example,  &  denotes  the  relative  velocity  between 
the  mass  and  the  ground,  and  2  denotes  the  absolute  acceleration  of  the  mass. 

2.2  Response  Quantities  of  Interest 

Throughout  this  report,  the  tern  response  is  used  in  s  generalised 
•ease  to  include  war  response  quantity,  such  as  a  force,  stress,  displacement 
or  velocity.  In  a  similar  manner,  the  ten  disturbance  may  refer  to  a  loidigg. 


2-1 


such  as  a  force  or  pressure,  or  to  a  ground  notion,  which  say  be  described  as 
a  tine  function  of  acceleration,  Telocity  or  displacement.  Whatever  Its  fora, 
the  forcing  function  le  presumed  to  be  known  and  Independent  of  the  notion  of 
the  system  Itself. 

When  the  source  of  excitation  Is  a  force,  the  response  quantities  of 
Interest  are  the  displacement,  velocity  and  acceleration  of  the  mass.  Tear  a 
ground  excitation,  both  the  absolute  and  the  relative  values  of  these  quanti¬ 
ties  nay  be  needed.  Of  greatest  Importance  is  the  relative  displacement  between 
the  aass  and  the  ground,  which  is  proportional  to  the  force  or  stress  la  the 
responding  structure.  The  relative  velocity,  which  Is  proportional  to  the  rate 
of  straining  of  the  material  of  the  spring.  Is  also  of  Interest,  as  It  may  be 
used  to  estimate  the  possible  increase  in  the  yield  level  of  the  material  under 
dynamic  conditions  and  to  determine  the  magnitude  of  the  asxlaias  force  due  to 
viscous  dating.  The  relative  acceleration  between  the  aass  and  the  ground, 
although  it  does  not  appear  to  have  any  special  practical  significance.  Is 
of  Interest,  because  It  may  be  used  la  conjunction  with  certain  analogies  to 
obtain  response  quantities  for  modified  farms  of  ground  excitation.  This  matter 
is  discussed  further  In  Section  2 ,k.  The  absolute  displacement,  velocity  and 
acceleration  of  the  aass  are  needed  because  the  design  of  the  system  may  be 
governed  by  limitations  on  the  motion  of  its  aasa  rather  than  by  strength  con¬ 
siderations,  and  because  these  quantities  may  be  uaed  to  define  the  character¬ 
istics  of  the  input  motion  for  a  secondary  light  aaas  that  may  be  a  part  of  the 
main  aass  or  aay  actually  be  attached  to  It. 

2.3  Equations  of  Motion 

Tor  use  In  subsequent  developments,  it  Is  desirable  to  record  here 
the  governing  differential  equation  of  motion.  For  a  system  subjected  to  a 
ground  excitation,  this  equation  Is 


2-2 


vher*  p(»c/c  )  da notes  the  fraction  of  critical  coefficient  of  damping,  and 
p(«  yW/a)  denotes  the  undamped  circular  natural  frequency  of  the  system.  The 
natural  frequency  of  the  system  in  cycles  per  second  is  denoted  by  f ,  and  is 
given  by  the  expression 


f 


Equation  2.2  can  be  written  in  one  of  the  following  alternate  forms: 

*i  +  2pp  i  +  p2x  -  p2y(t)  +  20p  y(t)  (2.3) 

or 

h*  +  2pp  u  +  p2u  ■  -  y(t)  (2.V) 

The  latter  form  is  the  more  convenient  of  the  two  when  the  ground  motion  is 
specified  am  am  acceleration  function.  Obviously,  the  solution  of  these  equa¬ 
tions  depends  on  the  characteristics  of  the  disturbing  function,  the  degree  of 
damping  In  the  system,  as  represented  by  the  parameter  (3,  and  the  natural  fre¬ 
quency  of  the  system.  Actually,  the  latter  parameter  enters  In  the  solution 
am  a  dimensionless  product  of  f  and  a  characteristic  time  of  the  disturbing 
function.  The  expressions  for  the  various  response  quantities  are  given  In 
Appendix  B  In  terns  of  Duhamel's  integral. 


For  a  fixed-base  system  acted  upon  by  an  erfr-VniiL  fore®  P(t)  applied 
at  the  mass,  the  governing  differential  equation  Is 

5  +  2pp  k  +  p2x  -  p\t(t)  (2.5) 


where 


(2.6) 


denotes  the  deflection  that  would  be  produced  by  the  force  P(  t)  were  to  be 
applied  gradually  to  the  system.  This  quantity  will  be  referred  to  as  the 
static  deflection  of  the  system,  and  Its  marl  sms  value  will  be  designated  as 


Equation  2.5  la  analogous  to  2q.  2.4,  and  Its  solution  nay  bs 


obtained  f res  that  of  Eq.  2 .4  simply  by  replacing  u  by  z  and  the  quantity 
y<t)  by  sinus  p2x>t(t) .  it  follows  that,  if  the  external  force  P(t)  has  the 
sane  shape  as  the  acceleration  function  for  the  ground  input  problem  and  if, 
in  addition,  the  initial  conditions  on  x  and  i  for  the  force  input  are  the 
sane  as  those  on  u  and  u,  for  the  acceleration  input,  then  the  amplification 
factors  x(t)/(xrt)0  and  [-p^u(t)]/?0  for  the  two  cases  will  be  identical. 

Similar  analogies  also  exist  between  the  derivatives  of  these  quantities.  In 
particular, 

[pTxffi-  *“  *°  r(t)]  "  [-**$^  **•  *<*>]  (2-7) 

and 

If*  ■■■  due  to  P(t)j  -  3^1  doe  to  y(t)j  (2SB) 

p  ^xst^o  ° 

Thus,  if  the  response  histories  for  one  set  of  quantities,  say  x,i  and  2,  are 
available,  the  histories  for  the  corresponding  set,  u,  4  and  4,  can  be  obtained 
directly.  Obviously,  these  analogies  are  also  applicable  to  the  maxi  ana  values 
of  the  response  quantities. 

Par  a  system  that  le  initially  at  rest,  the  initial  conditions  for 
the  two  problems  considered  above  will  be  the  sane  if 

y(0)  -  t(0)  .  0 

2.4  Between  Response  Quantities  Corresponding  to  Different  Pome 

of  Ground  Excitation 

Let  y^(t),  y2(t)  end  y^(t)  be  three  different  notions,  such  that  the 
displacement  history  of  the  first,  the  velocity  history  of  the  second,  and  the 
acceleration  history  of  the  third  have  the  same  shape.  That  is, 

TVW  *,(»)  »,(»)

where  the  subscript  o  denotes  the  nwirlmai  value  of  the  function  to  which  it  is 
attached.  Also,  let  Xj(t)  he  the  absolute  displacement  of  the  mass  of  the  system 
subjected  to  y^(t). 

The  equations  of  motion  for  x^,  x^,  and  x^  can  he  expressed  in  terms 
of  jrp  f2  and  as  follows:

the  last  two  equations  being  obtained  formally  from  Kq.  2.3  hy  differentiation. 
tor,  if  the  initial  conditions  for  these  equations  are  the  same,  the  three  solu¬ 
tions  will  he  identical,  aad  it  may  be  concluded  that:

(2.U) 


By  subtracting  from  the  three  parts  of  this  equation,  the  corresponding  parts  of 
Iq.  2.9,  aad  recalling  that  T  xj  ”  7y  000  concludes  further  that 


[tS  *“  yi(t)]  ’  [w;  *•  *  V*>]  ■  •"  *  yj(t)]

Similar  analogies  also  exist  between  the  hltfier  derivatives  of  these  quantities. 
The  initial  conditionsoof  Bqs.  2.10  are  specified  la  terms  of 

x^(0)  and  Xq,(0)  for  Bq.  2.10n 
i^(0)  aad  ^(0)  for  Iq.  2.10b,  aad 
^(0)  and^(O)  for  Bq.  2.10e. 


2-5 


The  last  three  quantities  can  be  related  to  the  initial  values  of  the  input 
notion  by  application  of  Eq.  2.2  as  follotrs: 


*ig(0)  -  -  p^O)  -  2ftp  yo)

(2.1k) 

yo) .  20p^Uj(o)  -  (i-Jtf2)p2yo)  +  20p  yo) 

(2.15) 

As  an  illustration,  consider  the  special  case  of  a  systea  that  is  initially  at 
rest.  If  the  initial  values  of  y^,  y^  and  are  xero,  the  initial  conditions 
for  each  of  Bqs.  2.10  are  likewise  xero,  and  the  analogies  of  Eqs.  2.11  and 
2.12  axe  valid.  On  the  other  hand,  if  the  initial  values  of  y^,  and  are 
different  from  xero,  it  can  readily  be  verified  that  only  the  initial  condi¬ 
tions  for  Eqs.  2.10b  and  2.10c  are  Identical,  with  the  result  that  in  Bqs.  2.11 
and  2.12  only  the  analogies  represented  by  the  equality  of  the  second  and  third 
terns  are  valid. 

For  the  special  case  of  a  systea  without  dating,  it  follows  from 
Eq.  2.2  that 

’i(t)  -  -  p2u(t)  (2.16) 

and  the  analogies  described  in  Bqs.  2.11  and  2.12  can  therefore  be  extended 
accordingly. 

Of  special  Interest  is  the  following  set  of  analogies  applicable  to 
the  free  vibration  era  of  the  notion  for  systems  without  damping,  If  the  terminal 
value  of  t)  in  Eq.  2.9  is  zero,  the  marl—ia  values  of  the  velocity.  aM,  thg 
displacement  during  free  vibration  are  related  by  the  equations

2.5  Besponse  Spectra  and  Spectral  Quantities 

For  design  purposes,  it  Is  generally  necessary  to  know  both  the  maxi- 
wsb  positive  and  the  maximum  negative  values  of  the  response.  In  certain  appli¬ 
cations,  It  nay  also  he  desirable  to  know  the  Magnitudes  of  these  quantities 
separately  both  for  the  interval  that  the  forcing  function  acts  on  the  system 
and  for  the  tine  following  the  end  of  the  disturbance.  If  the  direction  of  the 
excitation  cannot  be  predicted,  or  If  the  characteristics  of  the  exciting  func¬ 
tion  are  such  that  the  positive  and  the  Marianas  negative  values  of  the 

response  are  equally  likely,  then  it  nay  suffice  to  know  only  the  absolute  sexi¬ 
sm  value  of  the  response. 

The  subscript  "sax"  will  be  used  to  designate  the  absolute  sari  sain 
positive  value  of  a  response  quantity,  and  the  subscript  "min"  will  refer 
to  the  corresponding  maximum  negative  value.  Thus

A  plot  of  the  maximum  value  of  a  response  quantity  as  a  function  of 
the  natural  frequency  of  the  system,  Or  a  quantity  which  Is  related  to  the 
frequency,  constitutes  the  response  spectrum  or  shock  spectrum  for  that  quantity. 

It  Is  assumed  that  the  system  has  a  single  degree  of  freedom,  and  that  the  excita¬ 
tion  Is  known  and  Independent  of  the  motion  of  the  system  Itself.  For  exaig>le, 
the  diagram  expressing  the  variation  of  with  frequency  represents  the 
response  spectra*  for  the  absolute  maximum  positive  value  of  the  absolute  velocity 
of  the  mass  of  the  system. 

It  Is  convenient  to  express  the  various  response  quantities  In  dimen¬ 
sionless  form  by  normalizing  them  with  respect  to  the  maximum  value  of  the 
corresponding  Input  quantity.  For  a  ground  motion,  displacements  may  conveni¬ 
ently  be  expressed  In  terms  of  the  ground  displacement,  velocities  In 

terms  of  the  maximum  ground  velocity,  etc.  The  ratio  of  the  Instantaneous 
value  of  a  response  quantity  to  the  corresponding  maximum  Input  value  will  be 
referred  to  as  the  amplification  factor  for  that  quantity.  The  normalized 
spectral  quantities  are  the  peak  values  of  the  amplification  factors. 

The  term  deformation  spectrum  will  be  used  to  designate  the  response 
spectrum  for  the  sb solute  msxlmum  spring  deformation,  0,  or  a  quantity  used 
as  a  measure  of  U. 

In  many  Instances,  the  maximum  spring  deformation  may  be  expressed 
more  conveniently  by  the  quantity  Y,  defined  as 

▼  -  PO  (2.19) 

where  p  is  the  undated  circular  natural  frequency  of  the  system.  The  quantity 
V  has  units  of  velocity,  end  Is  related  to  the  maxlmas  strain  energy  of  the 
system,  by  the  equation 

8 _ -  £  mY2  (2.20) 


2-8 


which  follows  from  the  fact  that

Under  certain  conditions  to  be  discussed  subsequently,  the  quantity 
V  is  identical  to,  or  approximately  equal  to,  the  maxi  mum  relative  velocity, 

U,  and  these  quantities  have,  at  times,  been  used  interchangeably.  However, 
they  are  generally  different  from  one  (mother,  and  care  should  be  exercised 
in  replacing  one  for  the  other.  To  avoid  possible  confusion,  the  quantity  ▼ 
will  be  referred  to  as  the  relative  pseudo-velocity,  or  simply  pseudo* velocity, 
and  the  term  relative  velocity  will  be  reserved  for  the  true  relative  velocity 
of  the  system. 

Another  convenient  measure  of  the  maximum  spring  deformation  is  the 
pseudo-acceleration  of  the  mass  A,  defined  as 

A  ■  pV  ■  p^U  (2.21) 


and  related  to  the  maximum  spring  force,  Qq,  as  follows: 

where  V  is  the  weight  of  the  system,  and  g  is  the  gravitational  acceleration. 

The  force  any  also  be  written  in  the  form 

Q0-CW  (2.22) 

where  C,  the  so-called  lateral  force  coefficient  or  dynamic  load  factor,  repre¬ 
sents  the  number  of  times  the  system  must  be  capable  of  supporting  its  own  weight 
in  the  direction  of  motion,  and  is  equal  to  the  pseudo-ecchleratloa  of  the  system 
expressed  in  units  of  gravity.

Far  a  system  without  damping,  the  acceleration  'i  *  -  p  u,  whence  it 

follows  that  the  quantity  A  alto  represents  the  absolute  maximum  value  of  the 

true  acceleration  of  the  mass,  X.  For  a  damped  system,  A  is  only  approximately 

equal  to  X,  but  the  difference  between  these  two  quantities  is  of  practical 

significance  only  for  large  values  of  damping,  as  will  be  seen  subsequently. 

It  may  finally  be  noted  from  Eq.  2.2  that,  for  a  damped  system,  the  value  of 
2 

p  u  at  the  Instant  that  u  is  an  extremum  represents  the  true  acceleration  of 
the  mass,  since  the  second  term  in  this  equation  vanishes  by  virtue  of  the  fact 
that  u  «  0  at  that  Instant.  It  is  to  be  emphasized,  however,  that  the  maximum 
values  of  these  two  quantities  are  equal  only  for  0*0. 

2.6  Ground  Motions  of  Interest 

2.6.1  General.  Whereas  the  detailed  characteristics  of  the  ground 
motions  resulting  from  two  nuclear  explosions  under  comparable  conditions  may 
differ  significantly  because  of  unavoidable  differences  in  the  values  of  the 
physical  parameters  Involved,  the  gross  or  smoothed-out  characteristics  of  such 
motions  ere  generally  quite  similar.  These  similarities  are  particularly 
noticeable  in  the  records  of  ground  velocity  end  ground  displacement. 

Examination  of  available  field  teat  data  (Ref.  1)*  reveals  that  the 
time -hi  story  of  the  ground  velocity  induced  by  a  nuclear  explosion  is  charac¬ 
terized  by  a  low-frequency,  pulse-type  of  disturbance  on  which  ere  superimposed 
oscillations  of  higher  frequencies  sad  usually  smaller  applitudes  of  more  or 
less  random  character.  The  pulse-like  disturbance  will  be  referred  to  as  the 
primary  component  of  the  motion,  and  the  oscillatory  component  as  the  secondary 
or  random  component.  The  general  shape,  the  peek  value,  end  the  duration  of  the 
primary  component  can  generally  be  estimated  with  fair  accuracy  in  terms

of  the  yield  of  the  weapon,  the  distance  of  the  point  of  observation  from  the 
source  of  the  explosion,  and  the  direction  of  the  motion.  In  contrast,  the 
random  component  cannot  be  defined  reliably.  This  component  arises  mainly 
from  reflections  of  the  transmitted  shock  wave  and  is  influenced  significantly 
by  the  detailed  properties  of  the  medium  through  which  the  shock  is  transmitted. 
Since  the  properties  of  the  soil  may  vary  in  a  more  or  less  arbitrary  manner 
with  depth  or  with  distance  from  ground  zero,  the  characteristics  of  this 
coaqponent  can  at  best  be  described  in  statistical  terms.  It  can  generally  be 
said,  however,  that  the  less  uniform  the  soil  conditions,  or  the  greater  the 
ground  range,  the  more  prominent  is  the  contribution  of  the  random  component 
to  the  total  input  motion. 

It  is  convenient  to  consider  the  effects  of  the  two  components  of 
the  input  motion  separately,  and  to  estimate  the  maximum  effect  of  the  actual 
input  by  a  combination  of  the  corresponding  effects  produced  by  the  two  com¬ 
ponent  Inputs.  The  greater  part  of  this  report  is  concerned  with  the  effect 
of  the  primary  component  of  the  motion.  However,  the  manner  in  which  the  random 
component  may  modify  the  effects  produced  by  the  primary  component,  may  also 
be  estimated  from  the  data  to  be  presented. 

2.6.2  Wave  Forms  of  Primary  Component.  In  the  irmiediate  vicinity 
of  ground  zero  and  at  shallow  depths,  the  velocity  of  the  ground  in  the  vertical 
direction  has  the  characteristic  shape  of  the  overpr'  .ore  curve,  as  shown  in 
the  lower  part  of  Fig.  2.2a.  This  is  essentially  a  half -cycle  pulse  with  a 
sharp  rise  to  a  maximum  value  followed  by  a  gentler  decay.  The  corresponding 
displacement-time  curve,  shown  in  the  upper  part  of  the  figure,  is  a  pulse 
with  a  quarter  of  a  cycle  and  a  final  or  permanent  displacement  equal  to  the 
maximal  value  of  the  ground  displacement. 


2-11 


As  the  distance  from  ground  zero  Increases,  the  primary  component 
of  the  ground  velocity  changes  Into  a  more  nearly  full -cycle  pulse  with  both 
positive  (downward)  and  negative  (upward)  parts.  At  the  shorter  ranges,  the 
area  under  the  negative  part  of  the  velocity  diagram  is  smaller  than  under  the 
positive  part,  and,  consequently,  the  displacement-time  diagram  shows  only 
partial  recovery  from  Its  maximum  value,  as  Indicated  In  Pig.  2.2b.  At  the 
greater  ranges,  the  two  areas  become  equal  to  each  other,  and  the  ground  dis¬ 
placement  Is  represented  by  a  half -cycle  pulse  with  complete  recovery,  as  shown 
In  Fig.  2.2c.  In  general,  the  duration  of  the  negative  phase  of  the  velocity 
pulse  Is  longer  than  of  the  positive  phase,  and  the  corresponding  displacement 
pulse  Is  very  similar  to  the  velocity  pulse  applicable  la  the  Immediate  vicinity 
of  ground  zero.  At  still  greater  ranges,  the  velocity  ^diagram  nay  consist  of  three 
ox*  more  half  cycles.,  and  the  asdoelated  displacement  ilagrammiy  ha-ge  either  one 
complete  cycle,  as  shown  In  Fig.  2. 2d,  or, several  half-cycle*  as  discussed  in  Ref.  2* 

Half -cycle  displacement  pulses  with  complete  recovery  may  also  be 
expected  In  the  Immediate  vicinity  of  ground  zero  If  the  Intensity  of  the 
shock  or  the  strength  of  the  ground  material  are  such  that  no  permanent  die- 
placement  results. 

Evidently,  the  Intensity  of  the  ground  motion  decreases  with  Increas¬ 
ing  ground  range,  but  this  reduction  In  Intensity  may  not  be  sufficiently  great 
to  cospensate  for  the  increased  dynamic  effects  resulting  from  the  greater 
mmtoer  of  oscillations  present  In  the  input  function. 

The  characteristics  of  the  ground  motion  in  the  horizontal  direction 
are  generally  similar  to  those  for  vertical  motion  at  great  ranges.  The  time- 
history  of  the  displacement  Is  represented  either  by  a  half -cycle  pulse  with 
collets  recovery,  or  a  pulse  with  both  positive  and  negative  parts.  It 
should  be  noted,  however,  that  the  available  data  fear  this  case  are  not  as 
conclusive  as  those  for  motion  in  the  vertical  direction. 


2-12 


In  sumsmry  then,  the  following  forms  of  ground  motion  are  of  interest. 

(1)  Half -cycle  velocity  pulses, 

(2)  Half -cycle  displacement  pulses,  or  displacement  pulses  with 
partial  recovery  from  their  maximum  value. 

(3)  Tull -cycle  displacement  pulses  coapbsad  of  both  positive  and 
negative  parts,  and  displacement  functions  with  several  half- 
cycles . 

Inasmuch  as  it  is  physically  impossible  to  have  instantaneous  changes  of  displace¬ 
ment,  velocity  or  acceleration  of  the  ground,  the  displacement-time  diagrams 
and  their  first  and  second  derivatives  must  be  continuous  functions.  In  the 
following  discussion,  primary  emphasis  is  given  to  the  effects  of  continuous 
functions  as  indicated  shove;  however,  some  discontinuous  pulses  are  also  con¬ 
sidered  as  limiting  forms  of  ground  excitation.  In  addition,  for  the  sake  of 
completeness  and  for  the  purpose  of  developing  the  various  concepts  in  an 
orderly  fashion,  consideration  is  first  given  to  the  effects  of  motions  repre¬ 
sented  by  a  half -cycle  acceleration  pulse.  For  this  class  of  excitation,  the 
velocity  of  the  ground  after  termination  of  the  pulse  has  a  constant  value 
different  from  zero,  and  the  ground  displacement  Increases  linearly,  as  shown 
in  Fig.  2.3.  This  type  of  motion  is  of  course  of  Interest  In  the  design  of 
equipment  mounted  In  a  moving  vehicle. 

It  oust  be  noted  here  that  the  characteristics  of  the  ground  motions 
Induced  by  a  nuclear  blast  are  not  unlike  those  obtained  for  some  strong  motion 
earthquakes,  and  that,,  when  properly  Interpreted,  the  dynamic  response  of 
systems  to  the  two  sources  of  excitation  is  generally  quite  similar.  The  earth¬ 
quake  motion  is  of  course  of  longer  duration  than  the  blast  Induced  notion, 
and  the  random  cosqponent  of  the  motion  is  more  pronounced  for  an  earthquake 
record.  However,  insofar  as  their  effect*  on  systemrwfcth  moderate  amounts  of 
daqplogam  concerned,  these  differences  are  found  to  be  of  minor  consequence.

2.7  Deformation  Spectra  for  Undamped  Systems  Subjected  to  Half -Cycle 
Acceleration  Pulses 

2.7.I  Presentation  of  Data.  In  Pigs.  2.4  and  2.5  are  given 
response  spectra  for  the  maximum  positive  and  the  maximum  negative  accelera¬ 
tion  of  the  mass  of  a  system  subjected  to  a  ground  acceleration  in  the  form  . 
of  a  half -sine  pulse  and  a  versed-sine  pulse,  respectively.  The  system  is 
considered  to  be  initially  at  rest.  In  each  figure,  the  response  acceleration, 

*£,  normalized  with  respect  to  the  maximal  input  acceleration,  yQ,  is  plotted 
against  the  dimensionless  product  of  the  natural  frequency  of  the  system,  in 
cycles  per  second,  f ,  and  the  duration  of  the  pulse,  t^.  The  results  for 
the  forced- vibration  era  of  the  motion,  i.e.  the  period  during  which  the  pulse 
acts  on  the  system,  are  given  separately  from  those  applicable  to  the  period 
of  free  vibration.  In  particular,  the  solid  line  represent#  the  spectrum  for 
the  — Tfit—  positive  acceleration  during  forced  vibration,  the  dashed-dotted 
line  represents  the  spectrum  for  the  corresponding  maxi  man  negative  accelera¬ 
tion,  and  the  dashed  line  represents  the  spectrum  for  the  maximum  acceleration 
during  free  vibration.  In  the  latter  case,  the  positive  and  negative  values 
of  the  response  are  numerically  equal.  Since  the  system  has  no  dasqplng,  by 
virtue  of  Eq.  2.16,  these  spectra  can  also  be  interpreted  as  deformation  spectra. 

In  Figs.  2.6  and  2.7,  the  absolute  maxi  aim  values  of  the  positive  and 
the  negative  values  of  the  response  acceleration,  without  regards  as  to  their 
times  of  occurreuce,  are  replotted  on  logarithmic  scales.  On  such  a  plot, 
diagonal  lines  sloping  upward  to  the  right  are  lines  of  constant  values  of  the 
ratio  of  the  quantities  plotted  on  the  ordinate  and  the  abscissa,  and  diagonal 
lines  sloping  downward  to  the  right  are  lines  of  constant  values  of  the  product 
of  these  two  quantities.  The  diagonal  scales  in  these  figures  have  been  normalised 
such  that  they  represent  the  dimensionless  ratios 


2-14 


-*S  and  M  ' 


respectively,  where  *yQ  is  the  maximum  value  of  the  derivative  of  the  input 
acceleration  function,  the  so-called  "Jerk”. 

For  input  acceleration  functions  having  more  than  a  single  half -cycle, 
such  as  those  to  he  considered  subsequently,  it  is  convenient  to  plot  the 
relative  pseudo- velocity  pu  on  the  vertical  axis  of  the  diagram  instead  of 
on  the  diagonal  axis  as  was  done  in  Figs.  2.6  and  2.7,  and  for  the  sake  of 
uniformity,  the  quantity  pu  will  be  plotted  on  the  vertical  axis  for  all 
deformation  spectra  given  in  the  remainder  of  this  report. 

In  Fig.  2.8  the  upper  envelope  of  the  spectra  presented  in  Fig.  2.6 
is  replotted  in  this  manner  with  the  pseudo-velocity  V  normalized  by  the 
maximum  ground  velocity  yQ.  The  corresponding  spectrum  for  the  versed  sine 
pulse  is  given  in  Fig.  2,9  along  with  those  for  two  "skewed  versed  sine"  pulses 
having  rise  times,  tr,  equal  to  l/4  and  l/8  the  pulse  duration.  The  latter 
pulses  consist  of  two  half -segments  of  a  versed  sine  with  unequal  lengths. 

For  t J tj  «  l/4,  the  duration  of  the  second  segment  is  three  times  as  long  as 
that  of  the  first.  Included  in  Fig.  2.9,  is  also  a  sketch  of  the  derivative 
of  the  input  acceleration  function. 

On  a  plot  such  as  that  given  in  Fig.  2.8  diagonal  lines  sloping  upward 
to  the  right  are  lines  of  constant  displacement  U,  and  diagonal  lines  sloping 
downward  to  the  right  are  lines  of  constant  acceleration,  A  «  X.  Accordingly, 
with  the  scales  for  the  diagonal  axes  established,  from  a  plot  of  V  alone,  one 
can  also  read  the  values  of  U  and  A.  In  Figs.  2.8  and  2.9  the  scales  for  A 
have  been  normalized  with  respect  to  the  maximum  value  of  the  input  acceleration 
VQ.  The  relationship  between  V/yQ  and  A/V0  nay  be  stated  as

2.7.2  Discussion  of  Results.  From  the  Information  that  has  been 
presented  and  from  a  study  of  the  additional  data  susmarlsed  In  Keferences  3 
through  7,  the  following  Observations  can  be  made. 

a.  Low  Frequency  8ystem».  This  term  describes  the  condition  In 
which  the  duration  of  the  excitation  Is  small  relative  to  the  natural  period 
of  the  system,  l.e.  t^f  Is  small.  From  Figs.  2.b  through  2.7  it  can  be  seen 
that  for  values  of  t^f  less  than  about  0.6,  the  absolute  value  of  the 

deformation  occurs  during  free  vibration,  with  the  result  that  both  and 
are  mmmrlcally  the  seme.  As  t^f  approaches  aero,  the  curves  approach 
the  limiting  values  at

that  this  result  is  as  It  should  be  may  be  appreciated  physically  by  noting 
that,  with  t^f  approaching  zero,  the  disturbing  function  approaches  a  velocity 
step  of  Infinite  duration,  for  which  It  Is  veil  known  that  the  marina  and 
minimum  values  of  the  deformation  are  as  given  by  Eqs.  2.25.  For  use  subse¬ 
quently,  this  result  is  derived  below  by  application  of  the  simple  Impulse 
theory. 

Consider  first  a  half -cycle  force  pulse  applied  to  the  mass  of  a 
fixed-base  system.  For  small  values  of  t&f ,  the  pulse  may  be  approximated 
by  an  Instantaneous  velocity  change  of  the  mass,  vq,  the  magnitude  of  which 
may  be  obtained  by  application  of  the  ljyulse  momentum  relation

The  displacement  x  may  then  be  determined  from  the  expression* 


which  yields 


v 

*(t)  =  y  sin  pt 


c(t)  *p[/x,t(x)  dtj  sin  pt 


(2.26) 

(2.2?o) 

(2.27b) 


The  ™  value  of  this  expression  constitutes  an  upper  bound  to  the  true 

displacement,  since  the  effectiveness  of  the  Impulse  has  been  over¬ 
estimated  by  assuming  It  to  be  concentrated  at  t  -  0  instead  of  being  spread 
over  a  finite  time. 

"Unless  otherwise  noted,  the  limits  of  integration  for  the  Integral  expressions 
presented  are  from  0  to  td,  and  the  resulting  equations  are  applicable  for 
values  of  t  >  t^.

If  the  disturbing  function  is  a  ground  acceleration  ?(t)  of  tbs 
sane  shape  as  P(t),  the  resulting  spring  deformation  a my  be  obtained  from 
Eqs .  2.26  and  2.27a  b y  replacing  P(t)by  t)  and  x(t)  by  u(t).  The  result¬ 
ing  expression  is

From  the  available  data,  the  error  Incurred  by  the  use  of  this  staple 
Impulse  theory  is  estimated  to  be  less  than  10  percent  if 


where  t  is  the  effective  duration  of  the  acceleration  pulse.  This  quantity 
o,a  — - 

is  defined  as  the  duration  of  a  triangular  pulse  having  the  same  peak  value 
and  the  same  area  as  the  actual  pulse,  and  it  is  given  by  the  expression 


*  _  «  jo  „  *av  . 

V  r  rr 


(2.*9) 


in  which  ?av  is  the  average  value  of  the  input  acceleration.  For  the  versed 
sine  pulses  considered,  the  effective  duration  t -  t..  The  concept  of  an 
effective  pulse  duration  is  Introduced  to  account  for  circumstances  in  which 
the  exciting  function  Includes  low-intensity  regions,  which,  on  purely  physical 
grounds,  can  be  expected  to  be  relatively  ineffective.  From  Eq.  2.25  it  can 
be  verified  that  the  limiting  value  of  t  ^f  -  l/s  referred  to  above,  corresponds 


to  the  value  of  t^f  for  which  both  V/yo  and  a/9q  are  equal  to  one.  In  general, 

the  effect  of  pulse  shape  Is  unimportant  for  values  of  t  f  as  high  as  0.5  • 

o,a 

b.  High  Frequency  Systems.  Pigs.  2.k  through  2.J  show  that  for  values 
of  t^f  greater  than  that  corresponding  to  the  peak  value  of  the  curve  for  free 
vibration,  the  maximum  positive  value  of  x  is  greater  than  the  maximum  negative 
value,  the  difference  becoming  progressively  greater  with  increasing  value  of 
t^f .  As  t^f  approaches  infinity,  *£|iu(t  and  approach  the  maximum  positive 
and  the  maximum  negative  value  of  the  input  function,  respectively.  For  the 
class  of  pulses  considered  in  this  section,  the  negative  value  is  of  course 
zero.  These  limiting  values  are  valid  only  if  the  input  acceleration  is  a 
continuous  function. 

In  general,  x(t)  can  be  expressed  as  the  sum  of  two  components:  a 
function  that  is  proportional  to  the  input  acceleration,  and  a  sinusoidal  com¬ 
ponent,  the  frequency  of  which  is  equal  to  the  natural  frequency  of  the  system, 
f .  As  f  tends  to  infinity,  the  magnitude  of  the  first  component  becomes  numeri¬ 
cally  equal  to  the  input  acceleration,  and,  in  the  absence  of  any  discontinuities 
in  the  input  acceleration,  the  asplltude  of  the  periodic  ccaqponent  reduces  to 
zero.  The  response  of  the  system  then  approaches  that  obtained  under  "static" 
conditions,  and  the  limiting  value  of  K  becomes  equal  to  the  — input 
acceleration. 

The  effect  of  a  discontinuity  in  the  input  acceleration  is  to  make 
the  amplitude  of  the  periodic  component  in  the  expression  for  *i( t)  equal  to  the 
magnitude  of  the  discontinuity.  If  the  input  function  has  several  discontinui¬ 
ties,  the  amplitude  of  the  periodic  component  at  any  instant  la  equal  to  the 
numerical  sum  of  the  discontinuities  up  to  that  Instant.  This  condition  is 
illustrated  in  Fig.  2.10  for  a  series  of  acceleration  pulses,  including  two 
full-cycle  functions.  The  dashed  line  curves  in  this  figure  represent  the  input 


2-19 


acceleration  and  the  solid  lines  the  acceleration  of  the  system.  The  curves 
are  dravn  on  the  assumption  that  the  natural  period  of  the  system,  as  repre¬ 
sented  by  the  period  of  the  oscillatory  coaponent  of  the  response.  Is  — 

In  comparison  to  the  smallest  time  Interval  between  consecutive  discontinuities. 
These  plots  show  that  the  limiting  value  of  A  moat  be  either  equal  to  the  sum 
of  the  absolute  maximum  value  of  the  input  acceleration  and  the  numerical  sun 
of  the  discontinuities  preceding  this  maximum,  or  equal  to  the  numerical  sum 
of  a  greater  number  of  discontinuities  and  the  magnitude  of  the  following  maxi¬ 
mum,  whichever  combination  gives  the  numerically  greater  value.  Far  example, 
for  the  Input  function  considered  In  Fig.  2.10f,  the  limiting  value  of  A  is 

*(*o>l  *  *1*  ^  l*i  4  *2  +  w  tz#ro  ♦  \  +  *3! 

whichever  Is  greatest.  From  these  plots,  the  limiting  values  of 
can  also  be  determined,  as  shown. 

It  must  be  remembered  that  la  the  preceding  discussion,  the  system 
was  presumed  to  be  completely  undamped.  Obviously,  the  effect  of  damping  Is  to 
reduce  the  amplitude  of  the  periodic  component  of  the  motion,  the  magnitude  of 
the  reduction  being  more  pronounced  in  cases  such  as  those  shown  In  Figs.  2.10c 
and  2.1Qf ,  Where  the  maximum  response  occurs  at  a  considerable  distance  from 
the  major  discontinuity.  Instead  of  when  the  maximum  occurs  Immediately  after 
the  discontinuity. 

For  am  Input  acceleration  pulse  without  any  discontinuities,  the  range 
of  frequencies  within  which  the  quantity  A  nay  be  considered  to  be  equal  to  the 
maximum  Input  acceleration  depends  on  the  shortest  rise  time  of  the  pulse  rather 
than  on  its  duration.  From  available  data,  and  particularly  those  given  In 
Fig.  t.19  of  Ref.  3,  It  la  concluded  that  the  peak  value  of  the  Input  and  the 
response  accelerations  nay  be  considered  to  be  equal  for  values  of

where  t  Is  the  shortest  "effective"  rise  time  to  the  peak  acceleration.  This

quantity  Is  defined  as  the  horizontal  projection  of  a  straight  line  extending 
from  zero  to  the  maxi  mom  value  of  the  Input  acceleration  with  a  slope  equal  to

The  error  incurred  by  the  use  of  the  approximation  referred  to  in  Bq.  2.30  Is 
estimated  to  be  less  than  about  15  percent. 

The  general  procedure  described  In  the  preceding  paragraphs  for  the 
computation  of  the  response  acceleration  of  high-frequency  systems,  in  combina¬ 
tion  with  the  analogies  presented  In  Art.  2.k,  can  also  be  used  to  define  the 
limiting  values  of  other  response  quantities  and  to  obtain  other  useful  Infor¬ 
mation.  For  example,  the  limiting  velum  of  S(t)  may  be  determined  by  considering 
*f(t)  to  be  the  associated  Input  function.  Now,  If  y(t)  is  a  discontinuous 
function,  the  amplitude  of  x(t)  during  free  vibration  will  be  different  from 


zero,  and  from  the  magnitude  of  this  amplitude,  it  Is  also  possible  to  define 
the  manner  in  which  approaches  Its  limiting  value.  For  the  half -cycle 
acceleration  pulses  considered  In  this  section,  occurs  during  free  vibra¬ 
tion,  and  la  therefore,  related  to  by  the  equation

As  an  Illustration,  consider  the  spectra  for  the  half -cycle  acceleration  pulse 
presented  In  Fig.  2.6.  In  this  case,  7(t)  is  a  cosine  function,  and  the  limit¬ 
ing  value  of  ^  -  -  2fo,  as  may  be  appreciated  from  the  diagram  la  Fig.  2.101. 
It  follows  that  at  the  limit

this  result  being  substantiated  by  the  data  in  Fig.  2.6. 

For  the  versed  sine  acceleration  pulse  considered  in  Fig.  2.7,  the 
Uniting  amplitude  of  *f(t)  during  free  vibration  is  zero  since  'f(t)  is  a  continu¬ 
ous  function.  However,  by  working  with  the  second  derivatlee  of  V( t ) ,  Which  is 
discontinuous,  and  its  associated  response  quantity  *x(t) ,  one  finds  that  the 
limiting  value  of  the  residual  amplitude  of *JT(t)  is  2 
Accordingly, 


and  by  noting  that 


one  obtains  the  result 


which  agrees  with  the  data  presented  in  Fig.  2.7. 

c.  Maximum  Values  of  A.  In  Table  1  are  listed  the  values  of  kQ 
and  Kp  with  the  associated  values  of  t^f  for  the  pulses  considered  in  the  preced¬ 
ing  sections  and  for  three  triangular  pulses  discussed  in  Ref.  5 •  The  quantity 

A  denotes  the  absolute  aarlnua  value  of  A,  and  A_  denotes  the  wart  nun  corres- 
o  r 

ponding  to  the  residual  or  free-vlbration  notion.  The  rise  tines  of  these 
pulses,  tr,  are  also  listed  along  with  the  effective  rise  tines,  as  defined 
by  Hq.  2.J1. 

In  Table  1  the  snallest  value  of  A0/9Q  -  1.26  is  obtained  for  a 
triangular  pulse  with  vertical  termination,  sad  the  greatest  value  of  2  is 
obtained  for  pulses  with  a  vertical  front.  The  results  show  clearly  that  the 


2-22 


rise  time  of  the  pulse  is  the  most  important  single  parameter  influencing  the 
magnitude  of  the  absolute  maximum  response,  the  detailed  shape  of  the  pulse 
being  of  secondary  significance.  Between  pulses  having  the  sane  peak  value 
and  the  same  duration,  the  greater  value  of  A^y^  can  generally  be  expected 
to  occur  for  the  pulse  with  the  shorter  effective  rise  time. 

For  pulses  with  a  smooth  rise,  the  value  of  Ar  is  equal  to  or  slightly 

less  than  the  absolute  maximum  value  A  .  However,  the  difference  between  the 

o 

two  sets  of  values  Increases  with  decreasing  rise  time,  with  the  maximum  differ* 
ence  obtained  for  a  pulse  with  vertical  front  and  a  smooth  decay. 

The  value  of  t^f  corresponding  to  A Q/VQ  generally  increases  with 
decreasing  rise  time.  Although  there  does  not  appear  to  exist  a  simple  way  of 
defining  this  value,  it  is  worth  noting  that  it  is  consistently  greater  than 
or  equal  to  the  value  corresponding  to  the  peak  residual  acceleration,  Ar,  the 
difference  between  the  two  values  becoming  greatest  for  the  pulses  with  a 
sharp  rise.  The  value  of  t^t  corresponding  to  Ar  can  most  reliably  be  approxi¬ 
mated  In  terms  of  the  effective  duration  of  the  pulse,  t  ,  as  follows

For  an  acceleration  pulse  with  a  vertical  front  and  a  smooth  decay, 
the  response  spectrum  for  k/fQ  increases  monotonlcally  with  t^f ,  and  approaches 
the  value  of  2  as  a  limit.  For  such  pulses,  for  values  of  t^f  greater  than  1.0, 
the  quantity  k/fQ  can  be  approximated  by  the  expression

values  of  k/fQ  are  compared  for  an  initially  peaked  triangular  pulse  and  for  a 
coalne  function  of  oue -quarter  of  a  cycle.  The  exact  values  for  the  latter 
pulse  were  obtained  from  a  plot  included  in  Ref.  5«

2.7.3  Design  Rules.  For  design  purposes,  the  response  spectra 
for  the  absolute  Mad—  deformation  of  undaaped  systems  subjected  to  half- 
cycle  acceleration  pulses  without  any  discontinuities  can  be  approximated  as 
shown  in  Fig.  2.11.  For  specific  numerical  applications,  it  is  convenient  to 
plot  this  diagram  on  a  four-way  logarithmic  grid  similar  to  that  given  in 
Fig.  2  .12,  in  which  the  scales  are  expressed  in  absolute  units  Instead  of  the 
dimensionless  ratios  used  up  to  this  point.  To  a  first  approximation,  the 
spectrum  nay  be  defined  by  the  straight  line  segments  ab,  be,  de,  and  the 
curved  segment  cd.  Improved  accuracy  can  be  obtained  by  use  of  the  smooth 
transition  curve,  as  shown  by  the  dotted  line. 

The  spectrum  is  defined  as  follows: 

(a)  Along  the  horizontal  line  ab,  the  relative  pseudo-velocity  ▼ 
is  equal  to  the  mart mum  value  of  the  ground  velocity. 

(b)  Along  the  diagonal  line  be,  the  acceleration  A  is  approximately 
equal  to  1.5  times  the  mart  mob  ground  acceleration. 

(c)  Along  the  diagonal  line  de,  the  acceleration  A  is  equal  to  the 
ground  acceleration. 


2-2  k 


(d)  The  curve  cd  Is  tangent  to  the  line  be  and  Intersects  line  da 
at  an  angle,  as  shewn  In  the  figure.  The  frequency  corresponding  to  point  d 
is  determined  from  the  expression  €  f  -  1.25,  and  that  of  point  c  can  best 
be  estimated  from  the  data  given  in  Table  1.  For  a  symetrical  pulse,  the  loca¬ 
tion  of  c  may  be  determined  from  Eq.  2.52. 

For  a  discontinuous  input  function,  the  diagram  must  be  modified 
in  accordance  with  the  general  observations  made  previously. 

2.8  Synthesis  of  Spectra  for  a  Sequence  of  Half-Cycle  Acceleration  Pulses. 

In  addition  to  providing  a  great  deal  of  insight  into  the  behavior  of 

the  system,  the  detailed  spectra  of  the  type  presented  in  Figs.  2.4  and  2.5  can 

also  be  used  to  synthesize  the  response  spectrum  corresponding  to  a  sequence  of 

half -cycle  pulses.  This  possibility  is  described  with  reference  to  the  full- 

cycle  acceleration  pulse  shown  in  Fig.  2.15,  the  individual  pulses  of  which  may 

be  of  any  shape  for  which  detailed  spectra  are  available. 

The  basic  idea  is  to  consider  the  motion  produced  by  each  half -cycle 

pulse  acting  independently,  and  to  coridlne  the  resulting  maxirnim  effects, 

taking  into  consideration  both  the  shape  and  duration  of  the  individual  pulses 

and  also  the  times  at  which  these  effects  take  place.  Fig.  2.15  shows  the 

motion  produced  by  each  component  pulse  acting  alone,  along  with  the  notation 

used.  The  symbol  denotes  the  maximum  value  of  the  acceleration  produced 

o,x 

by  the  first  pulse  during  forced  vibration,  l.e.  in  the  interval  t  <  t^,  and 

2  ,  denotes  the  corresponding  residual  maximal.  The  remaining  symbols  are 
r,i 

self-explanatory . 

The  absolute  maximum  response  due  to  the  actual  pulse  will  naturally 
occur  in  one  of  the  following  regions: 

Region  1,  corresponding  to  t  <  t^ 

Region  2,  corresponding  to  t^  <  t  <  t^ 

Region  5»  corresponding  to  t  >  t^ 


2-25 


Let  Rj  denote  the  magnitude  of  the  maximum  response  for  the  Jth  region,  and 
R  be  the  absolute  maximum  response. 

For  the  first  region,  R.  Is  evidently  equal  to  X  , ,  the  latter  value 
being  determined  from  the  appropriate  spectrum  for  the  first  half -cycle  pulse 
and  the  specified  value  of  the  frequency  parameter  t^f. 

For  the  third  region,  R^  is  obtained  by  a  combination  of  the  ampli¬ 
tudes  of  the  tvo  residual  oscillations,  x  1  and  'i  0,  these  quantities  being  again 

r,x  r  yd 

determined  from  the  appropriate  spectra  with  the  appropriate  values  of  t^f  and 
tgf .  These  asplltudes  may  be  combined  In  a  number  of  different  vays,  of  vhlch 
the  following  tvo  appear  to  be  the  more  appropriate: 


(a)  Take  the  numerical  sum  of  'i  .  and  '£  _ 

r,x  r,z 

(2.3*) 

(b)  Use  the  expression 

®3  =  *  ^Sr,2^ 

(2.35) 

The  first  approach,  vhlch  assunes  the  tvo  residual  oscillations  to  be  In  phase, 
obviously  leads  to  an  upper  bound.  The  sign  of  the  error  committed  by  the 
second  approach,  vhlch  amounts  to  assuming  the  tvo  residual  oscillations  to 
be  90°  out  of  phase,  cannot  be  determined  In  general. 

For  the  Intermediate  region,  the  response  Is  computed  by  combining 
the  quantity  'i.  0  vlth  the  amplitude  of  the  residual  oscillation  due  to  the 
first  pulse,  x  . .  Tvo  alternative  procedures  are  noted  vhlch  are  analogous  to 
those  used  for  region  3. 

An  upper  bound  may  be  obtained  by  linear  sqpexpoaltlon  *a  follows: 

R a  <  *  *rA  (2-36) 

vhere  the  signs  are  selected  so  as  to  yield  the  marlmim  possible  mmerleal  value. 


2-86 


Alternatively,  one  may  use  the  expression 


*2=  *2  +  j  <Xo,2  ‘  «2>2  +  'Sr,l)2  '  (2’37) 

where  (xq  2  -  a^)  approximates  the  oscillatory  component  of  the  motion  induced 
by  the  second  pulse,  and  the  square  root  quantity  approximates  the  amplitude 
of  the  oscillatory  component  due  to  both  pulses. 

As  an  illustration,  consider  an  acceleration  function  composed  of 
a  sequence  of  two  half -sine  waves  such  that  t^/t^  ■  l/k  and  »  t^  t\  -  1/3  ‘ 

Assume  further  that  t^f  =0.5;  whence  it  follows  that  tgf  ■  1.5. 

By  entering  Fig.  2.4  with  the  appropriate  values  of  the  frequency 
parameter,  one  finds  that

The  absolute  marlrai  value  of  the  response  is,  therefore,  R  ■  -2.07 
by  linear  superposition,  and  R  ■  -I.91  by  the  square  root  rule.  The  latter  value 
happens  to  coincide  with  the  exact  value. 


2-67 


In  Fig.  2.l4a  the  response  spectrum  for  the  acceleration  function 
considered  in  the  preceding  exeuqple  is  compared  with  the  results  obtained  by 
the  two  versions  of  the  approximate  procedure  presented.  A  similar  cosparl- 
.  son  is  made  in  Fig.  2.14b  for  a  full-cycle  sinusoidal  function.  As  might  have 
been  expected,  the  agreement  is  better  in  the  first  case  where  one  of  the 
pulses  dominates  the  response. 

It  must  be  noted  here  that  the  response  of  Idle  system  in  the  low- 
frequency  range  can  reliably  be  predicted  by  simple  relations  to  be  presented 
later,  and  therefore  this  procedure  need  not  be  used  for  this  frequency  range. 

The  procedure  is  recommended  especially  for  the  computation  of  the  absolute 
i— -Hum  value  of  A,  and  will  be  used  for  this  purpose  later. 

2.9  Deformation  Spectra  for  Undamped  Systems  Subjected  to  Half -Cycle  Velocity 
frulsoa 

The  pulses  considered  in  this  section  are  of  the  type  shown  in  Fig.  2.2a 
for  which  the  areas  under  the  positive  and  negative  parts  of  the  acceleration 
function  are  equal.  The  system  is  presumed  to  have  no  damping  and  to  be  ini¬ 
tially  at  rest. 

2.9.1  Low  Frequency  Systems .  If  the  duration  of  the  velocity  pulse, 
t^,  is  short  in  comparison  to  the  natural  period  of  the  system,  the  maximum 
ground  displacement,  yQ,  will  be  attained  before  the  mass  of  the  system  has  had 
an  opportunity  to  respond,  and  the  ground  motion  will  literally  be  "absorbed" 
by  the  spring.  It  is  physically  apparent  that  the  first  extremum  value  of  the 
deformation  will  occur  approximately  at  t  •  t^,  and  will  be  nearly  equal  to  the 
negative  value  of  yQ.  The  subsequent  motion  of  the  mass  will  be  essentially 
that  of  a  fixed-base  system  subjected  to  an  initial  deformation  -yQ.  It 
follows,  therefore,  that

and  that  the  first  values  of  and  will  occur  approximately  at

The  limiting  value  of  U  for  this  case  can  also  he  determined  from 
Eq.  2.28b  by  ashing  use  of  the  analogy  expressed  by  the  second  and  third  terns 
in  Eq.  2.17.  Voting  that  A  »  p 2U,  one  obtains

2.9*2  Presentation  and  Discussion  of  Results. 

a.  Character! stl c s  of  Representative  Spectra.  In  Pig.  2.15  are 
given  response  spectra  for  the  relative  displacement  U,  the  relative  pseudo* 
velocity  ▼,  and  the  pseudo-acceleration  A,  of  a  system  subjected  to  a  versed- 
sine  pulse  of  ground  velocity.  A  sketch  of  this  pulse  and  of  the  associated 
acceleration  and  dlsplaceaent  functions  are  Included  in  the  figure.  It  must  be 
eaphaalzed  that  these  curves  are  Interrelated  by  Eq.  2.21,  and  that  if  one  of 
then  is  known,  the  renalnlng  two  can  be  determined. 

It  can  be  seen  that  the  def  ornation  U  never  exceeds  the  — 
ground  displacement,  and  that,  for  small  values  of  t^f,  it  Is  essentially’ 


2*9 


equal  to  jQ,  As  far  as  the  acceleration  A  Is  concerned,  at  Large  values  of 
tdf ,  It  Is  approximately  equal  to  the  maximum  ground  acceleration  Y0>  but  the 
peak  value  of  A  Is  greater  than  VQ  and  occurs  la  the  Intermediate  range  of 
t^f  values.  These  limiting  values  of  U  and  A  are  In  agreement  vith  those 
discussed  In  the  preceding  section. 

Of  special  significance  is  the  relative  order  of  magnitude  of  u/y0 
and  A/y0  for  the  extreme  values  of  t^f .  At  small  values  of  t^f ,  the  amplifi¬ 
cation  factors  for  A  are  a  fraction  of  thoae  for  U,  ehereas  at  the  large 
values,  the  order  of  the  curves  If  reversed,  and  the  amplification  factors, 
for  U  are  a  fraction  of  those  for  A.  It  would  appear  that,  for  low-frequency 
systems,  the  maxi  mini  deformation  is  Insensitive  to  the  details  of  the  accelera¬ 
tion  and  velocity  records,  whereas  for  high-frequency  systems,  it  Is  Insensitive 
to  the  characteristics  of  the  lrput  displacement.  In  the  Intermediate  range, 
the  response  appears  to  he  sensitive  to  the  characteristics  of  both  the  velocity 
and  the  acceleration  traces.  Because  of  the  general  shape  of  these  curves,  the 
narlmna  deformation  of  ms  diem-frequency  systems  can  more  conveniently  be 
expressed  In  terns  of  T  Instead  of  directly  in  terms  of  U.  Similarly,  for 
high-frequency  systems,  ths  quantity  A  Is  a  more  convenient  measure  of  the 
maxi  mam  spring  deformation  than  either  U  or  T.  It  Is  essentially  for  this 
reason  that  T  end  A  are  used  as  alternative  measures  of  U. 

The  maxi  mm  positive  end  the  msxlmnn  negative  values  of  the  spring 
deformation  are  shown  separately  In  Tigs.  2.16  and  2.17a  In  the  fans  of 
acceleration  spectra  and  pseudo- velocity  spectra,  respectively. 

The  following  eharacterlstica  of  the  curve*  are  worth  acting. 

(a)  For  values  of  t^f  <  1,  the  mart  mas  defenatlom  occur*  during 
free  vibration,  with  the  result  that  the  positive  and  negative  values  of  the 
response  are  aannrleally  equal. 


2-^0 


(t>)  The  absolute  sail—  value  of  the  pseudo-velocity,  VQ,  occurs 
during  free  vibration. 

(c)  For  values  of  t^f  >1,  the  maximum  deformation  during  forced  vibra¬ 
tion  is  equal  to,  or  constitutes  a  good  approximation  to,  the  absolute  mart  man 
value.  Furthermore,  the  positive  and  negative  values  of  the  response  are 

close  to  one  another,  but  this  agreement  is  believed  to  be  valid  only  for 
symmetrical  velocity  pulses  for  which  the  positive  and  negative  parts  of  the 
ltqput  acceleration  have  the  same  general  shape  and  magnitude.  If  the  peak 
magnitudes  of  the  two  parts  of  the  acceleration  function  are  different, 
will  converge  to  the  corresponding  negative  value.  This  condition  is  illus¬ 
trated  in  Fig.  2.17b  which  refers  to  a  skewed  versed-sine  velocity  pulse  with 
a  rise  time  of  0.2^  t^.  The  ratio  Of  the  minimum  and  maximum  values  of  the 
input  acceleration  function  being  l/3,  the  limiting  value  of  It^J  ■  fQ/5' 

(d)  For  the  pulses  considered,  the  peak  values  of  the  acceleration 

A  for  the  forced  vibration  and  the  free  vibration  eras  of  the  notion  are  dose 
to  each  other.  Pertinent  data  are  summarised  below  for  a  class  of  skewed 
versed-sine  velocity  pulses  having  rise-duration  ratios  of  1/2,  l/k  and  1/8.

b.  tffecte  of  Rise  Tima  and  Discontinuities  la  Acceleration.  The 
spectra  la  Fig.  2.18  are  for  a  f sadly  of  skewed  versed-sine  velocity  pulses 
with  rise  times  hanging  from  1/2  to  l/8  the  duration  of  the  ydse. 


2-31 


It  can  clearly  be  seen  fron  this  figure  that  for  values  of  t^f  less 
than  one  the  effect  of  rise  time  is  almost  Imperceptible .  Similarly,  at  the 
right  hand  end  of  the  diagram,  the  limiting  value  of  A  for  each  curve  can  be 
shown  to  be  equal  to  the  maximum  input  acceleration  fQ.  By  virtue  of  the 
fact  that  the  magnitude  of  the  ground  acceleration  for  a  fixed  value  of  the 
— Tina  ground  velocity  Increases  with  decreasing  rise  time,  on  a  plot  such 
as  that  given  in  Tig.  2.18,  the  location  of  the  limiting  value  of  A  shifts 
to  the  right  as  tr  ^/tg  decreases.  Thus,  the  principal  effect  of  a  decrease 
in  the  rise  time  is  to  Increase  the  width  of  the  nearly  flat  portion  of  the 
V-spectrum. 

In  Pigs.  2.19  through  2.22c  are  given  deformation  spectra  for  several 
velocity  pulses  the  derivatives  of  which  are  discontinuous  functions.  The 
velocity  pulses  considered  Include  a  symmetrical  parabolic  pulse  (Pigs.  2.19 
and  2.20),  a  skewed  sinusoidal  pulse  with  a  rise  tine  equal  to  one  third  the 
total  duration  (Pig.  2.21),  and  a  series  of  triangular  pulses  with  different 
rise-duration  ratios  (Pigs.  2.22a  through  2.22c).  The  velocity  pulses  and 
the  corresponding  acceleration  histories  are  shown  in  the  inset  diagrams.  The 
values  of  t^f  below  which  the  absolute  maxi  mas  response  consistently  occurs 
during  free  vibration  are  also  indicated. 

For  values  of  t^f  between  zero  and  a  value  slightly  greater  than  that 
for  which  Y  is  maximum,  the  spectra  presented  in  these  figures  are  almost 
identical  to  those  presented  earlier,  verifying  the  prediction  that,  for  flexible 
systems,  the  deformation  is  dependent  on  the  shape  of  the  ground  dis¬ 

placement  alone,  rather  than  on  the  shapes  of  the  corresponding  velocity  or 
acceleration  traces.  In  each  case,  the  spectrun  is  bounded  on  the  left  by  a 
line  of  constant  displacement  equal  in  magnitude  to  the  maximum  ground  displace¬ 
ment.  For  values  of  t.f  less  than  that  for  which  Y/i  ■  1,  the  maximum  error

due  to  taking  U  ■  yc  is  for  all  practical  purposes  negligible.

I*  contract,  for  values  of  t^f  >1,  the  mgnitude  and  general  appear¬ 
ance  of  the  curves  are  influenced  to  a  rather  significant  degree  by  the  detailed 
features  of  the  input  notion.  In  Figs.  2.20  and  2.21  the  Uniting  value  of  A 
is  equal  to  twice  the  aarlnti  ground  acceleration,  and  in  Figs.  2.22  it  is 
equal  to  twice  the  narlnun  value  of  the  discontinuity  in  the  input  acceleration 
function.  These  Uniting  values  are  la  agreenent  with  those  predicted  by  the 
procedure  described  in  Art.  2.7.2b.  In  Fig.  2.22c  the  curve  for  tr  ^/t^  ■  0 
approaches  asymptotically  the  line  V/yQ  -  1,  because  the  maximal  input  accelera¬ 
tion  is  infinite  in  this  case,  and  the  velocity  function  approaches  a  step  pulse 
of  infinite  duration. 

For  an  input  acceleration  without  any  discontinuities,  the  response 
of  a  high-frequency  system  nay  be  considered  to  be  the  sane  as  that  obtained 
under  static  conditions  if  Eq.  2.30  is  satisfied  for  each  component  pulse  in 
the  input  acceleration.  However,  if  the  aaplltudes  of  the  Individual  pulses 
are  significantly  different  from  one  another,  it  nay  be  sufficient  to  satisfy 
this  relation  only  for  the  pulse  with  the  greatest  ordinate,  since  the  effect 
of  the  remaining  pulse  or  pulses  nay  be  negligible. 

c.  Mariana  Values  cf  V  and  A.  The  narlnun  values  of  V,  for  the 
velocity  pulses  considered  in  the  preceding  sections  and  for  several  additional 
pulses  considered  in  Ref.  2,  are  listed  in  Table  2  together  with  their  corres¬ 
ponding  values  of  t^f .  The  results  for  the  pulses  Identified  with  an  asterisk 
correspond  to  narlna  that  occur  during  free  vibration,  but  these  narlna  are 
expected  to  be  equal  to  or  very  close  to  the  absolute  naxlnun  values.  Pulses 
3a  and  5b  are  defined  by  Xq.  4.6  of  Ref.  2  as  the  product  of  a  versed  sloe 
function,  a  skewing  constant,  and  a  decaying  exponential  function. 

It  can  be  seen  that  the  value  of  ranges  between  1  and  2,  the 

lower  bound  corresponding  to  n  rectangular  velocity  pulse  of  infinite  duration, 


2-53 


and  the  upper  hound  to  a  rectangular  pulse  of  finite  duration.  These  limiting 

values  suggest  that,  for  velocity  pulses  of  other  shape,  the  smaller  values  of 

V would  occur  for  pulses  having  a  sharp  rise  and  a  gradual  decay,  and 

that  the  larger  values,  would  correspond  to  pulses  having  a  sharp  rise,  a  sharp 

decay,  and  a  fairly  flat  Intermediate  region.  It  follows  further  that,  for 

symmetrical  pulses,  the  values  of  V0/t0  can  he  expected  to  he  greater  than 

those  for  unsymnetrlcal  pulses,  and  that  among  syanetrlcal  pulses  of  the  same 

duration  and  the  same  peak  value,  the  greater  values  of  V q/yo  would  correspond 

to  the  pulse  having  the  shortest  effective  rise  time  combined  with  the  flattest 

top.  These  conclusions  are  substantiated  hy  the  numerical  data  presented  in 

Table  2.  The  effective  rise  time,  €  ,  defined  In  a  manner  analogous  to  that

In  the  absence  of  specific  Information  about  the  shape  of  the  velocity  pulse, 
the  value  of  VQ  for  the  unsymmetrlcal  velocity  pulses  encountered  in  ground 
shock  problems  may  he  taken  as  1.3  times  the  maximum  Input  velocity. 

It  may  he  recalled  that  In  discussing  the  effects  of  half -cycle 
acceleration  pulses,  it  was  noted  that  the  maxi  mum  value  of  A  depends  primarily 
on  the  effective  rise  time  of  the  pulse,  and  that  the  detailed  shape  of  the 
pulse.  Including  Its  decay  time,  were  relatively  unlaportant.  That  the  signi¬ 
ficant  parameters  for  an  acceleration  Input  are  different  from  those  for  a 
velocity  Input  can  best  he  appreciated  hy  considering  the  response  of  high- 
frequency  systems  to  a  rectangular  forcing  function.  For  an  acceleration 
input,  the  amplification  factor  for  Is  one.  Irrespective  of  the  duration

In  Table  2,  the  values  of  t^f  corresponding  to  VQ  range  from  0.50 
to  1.9,  with  the  majority  of  the  values  being  of  the  order  of  0.7.  The  maxi¬ 
mum  value  is  obtained  for  the  decaying  skewed  versed-sine  pulse,  No.  ta,  for 

which  it  is  physically  apparent  that  the  "effective  duration",  t  ,  which

excludes  the  low-intensity  tail  end  of  the  pulse,  is  shorter  than  the  actual 

duration.  The  location  of  VQ  can  more  reliably  be  expressed  in  terms  of  the 

effective  duration  parameter  t  f ,  the  values  of  which,  as  can  be  seen  from

than  are  those  of  the  parameter  t^f .  The  quantity  tQ  y,  defined  in  a  manner

For  the  pulses  considered,  the  values  of  Aq  /yQ  range  from  a  inaxlnun  value 
of  4  to  a  value  of  less  than  2.  In  general,  the  larger  values  are  obtained  for 
the  acceleration  pulses  for  which  the  positive  and  negative  half -cycles  are  of 
the  same  shape  and  duration  (l.e.,  for  symmetrical  velocity  pulses).  In  the

is  considered  to  be  quite  adequate  for  all  practical  applications.

Strictly  speaking,  the  value  of  AQ  depends  not  only  on  tharelative 
amplitudes  end  durations  of  the  individual  pulse*  in  the  Input  acceleration 
function,  hut  also  on  the  pulse  shapes;.  themselves,  as  nay  he  appreciated 
fron  the  discussion  presented  in  Section  2.7*2.  However,  in  the  absence  of 
information  shout  the  detailed  shape  of  these  pulses,  the  value  of  Aq  nay  he 
taken  approximately  as  1.5  times  the  numerical  sun  of  the  maximal  and  minimal 
values  of  the  input  acceleration.

x,a 

associated  velocity  pulse,  tr  y.  For  continuous  functions,  Aq  may  he  considered 
to  occur  at  a  value  of

2.9.5  Design  Rules.  For  design  purposes,  the  deformation  spectra  for 
systems  subjected  to  half -cycle  velocity  pulses  may  he  approximated  by  the  diagram 
given  in  Fig.  2.25,  provided  the  ground  acceleration  1*  a  continuous  function. 

To  a  first  approximation  this  spectrum  may  he  defined  by  the  straight  line  seg¬ 
ments  ab,  he,  cd,  ef  and  the  curved  segment  de,  as  follows: 

(a)  Along  the  diagonal  line  ab,  the  displacement  U  Is  equal  to  the 
— ■rH—i  value  of  the  ground  displacement. 


2-56 


(b)  Along  the  horizontal  line  be,  the  re la tire  pseudo- velocity  ▼  is 
equal  to  1.5  tines  the  narlnum  ground  velocity.  If  the  detailed  shape  of  the 
Input  velocity  is  known,  a  more  precise  estlnate  for  this  upper  bound  on  V  nay 
be  obtained  from  the  data  presented  In  Table  2. 

(c)  Along  the  diagonal  line  cd,  the  acceleration  A  Is  equal  to  1.5 
tines  the  sun  of  the  absolute  values  of  the  narlnun  and  alnlnua  ground  accelera¬ 
tions.  if  the  input  function  Is  known  exactly  and  response  spectra  for  the 
component  pulses  are  available,  a  somefchat  better  estlnate  of  this  value  of  A 
nay  be  obtained  by  the  procedure  described  in  Section  2.8. 

(d)  Along  the  line  ef ,  the  acceleration  A  Is  equal  to  the 
ground  acceleration. 

(e)  The  curve  de  is  tangent  to  the  line  cd  and  intersects  the  line 
ef  at  an  angle,  as  shown  In  the  diagram.  The  frequencies  corresponding  to 
points  d  and  e  are  determined  approximately  frost  the  expression  shown  In  the 
figure.  The  frequency  for  point  d  should  not  be  snaller  than  the  frequency 
corresponding  to  point  c  of  the  diagram. 

(f)  Tbs  transition  curves  shown  In  dotted  lines  are  tangent  to  the 
straight  line  secpents  at  points  g,  h  and  d.  Point  g  corresponds  to  a  value 
of  V  -  yQ,  and  point  h  corresponds  to  a  frequency  determined  from  Sq.  S.kOb. 

The  latter  frequency  should  not  be  greater  than  that  corresponding  to  point  c.

The  pulses  considered  In  this  section  are  of  the  type  shown  In 
Pigs.  2.2c  and  2.2b.  AsVbefore,  the  system  Is  considered  to  have  no  damping 
and  to  be  Initially  at  rest. 

2.10.1  Low  Frequency  Systems.  Prom  a  physical  argonaut  entirely 
analogous  to  that  used  In  Section  2.9*1*  one  concludes  that  for  low-frequsney 


2-37 


systems  the  first  extremum  value  of  the  deformation  will  occur  at  or  near 
the  instant  that  the  ground  attains  its  maximum  value  and  will  be  approx! - 


itely  equal  to  the  negative  value  of  yQ,  i.e. 


umln  "  ‘  yo  - - d 


at  t  =  t . 


(2.42) 


The  second  extremum  will  occur  after  termination  of  the  pulse .  By  virtue  of 
the  similarity  of  Eqs.  2.3  and  2.5,  the  absolute  displacement  of  the  system 
for  t  >  td  can  be  determined  from  Eq.  2.27b  by  replacing  x8t(t)  by  y(t),  as 


follows 


*(t)  =  P  £  J'jKt)  drj  sin  pt  -  ptd  yav  sin  pt 


(2.43a) 


where  y  is  the  average  value  of  the  displacement  in  the  interval  between 

®  v 

0  and  t&.  Equation  2.43a  also  represents  the  relative  displacement  u(t), 
since  y(t)  -  0  for  t  >  t^.  It  follows  then  that 


or 

"he  first  values  of  u^T  and  occur  at  a  time  roughly  equal  to  one-half 
the  natural  period  of  the  system.  Incidentally,  Eq.  2.44  could  also  have  been 
obtained  from  Eq.  2.38a  by  utilising  the  analogy  expressed  by  the  first  two 
terms  in  Eq.  2.17- 

For  a  ground  displacement  y(t)  with  partial  recovery,  the  relative 
displacement  for  t  >  td  is  given  by  the  expression 

u(t)  s  pt4  yav  sin  pt  -  yf  cos(p(t-td)l, 

in  which  the  first  term  represents  the  contribution  of  the  pulse  within 
°5*<td,  and  the  second  tern  represents  the  contribution  of  the  residual 
or  final  displacement  of  the  ground,  yf .  For  small  values  of  ptd,  taking 
sin  ptd  ■  ptd  and  coa  ptd  -  1,  one  obtains 

2-38 


whence 


u(t)  »  ptd[yav  -  yf  ]  sin  pt  -  yf  cos  pt, 


(2.45) 


For  a  displacement  pulse  with  complete  recovery,  the  absolute  maxi¬ 
mum  value  of  the  deformation,  U,  is  the  numerically  larger  of  the  values  given 
by  Eqs.  2.42  and  2.44,  and  for  a  pulse  with  partial  recovery,  it  is  the  larger 
of  the  values  given  by  Eqs.  2.42  and  2.45.  For  a  displacement  pulse  with  com¬

2.10.2  Presentation  and  Discussion  of  Data.  In  Fig.  2.24  are 
presented  response  spectra  for  the  and  minimum  deformations  of  undamped 

systems  subjected  to  a  half-cycle  displacement  pulse.  The  acceleration  diagram 
of  the  input  motion  consists  of  a  sequence  of  three  half-sine  pulses  of  the 
same  amplitude  and  of  durations  t^,  2t^  and  t^,  respectively,  as  shown  in  the 
inset  diagram.  The  deformation,  uwmiv,  corresponds  to  an  extension  of 

the  spring  and  is  a  positive  quantity,  whereas  uM<n  corresponds  to  compression 
and  is  a  negative  quantity.  It  should  be  noted  that  the  abscissa  in  this  figure 
is  the  quantity  2t.jf  Instead  of  the  quantity  t^f  used  in  previous  figures. 

The  quantity  2t^  is  also  equal  to  the  duration  of  each  velocity  pulse  and  to 
the  rise  time  of  the  associated  displacement  function.  Included  in  this  figure 
as  dotted  line  curves  are  also  the  results  obtained  from  Eq.  2.42  and  from  the 


right  member  of  Eq.  2.44. 

In  Figs.  2.25a  and  2.25b  are  presented  similar  curves  for  a  versed- 
sine  displacement  pulse  and  for  a  skewed  versed-sine  displacement  pulse  vith  a 
rise-duration  ratio  of  t^/t^  ■  l/4.  The  upper  envelopes  of  these  curves  are 
coopered  in  Fig.  2.26  with  the  corresponding  curve  for  a  displacement  pulse  of 


2-59 


the  sane  family  but  with  a  value  of  t^/tj  -  l/8.  The  displacement  pulses 
considered  In  these  figures  are  identical  to  the  velocity  pulses  considered  in 
Figs.  2.17a  through  2.18. 

The  following  characteristics  of  the  curves  are  worthy  of  note: 

(a)  Unlike  the  spectra  for  the  half- cycle  velocity  pulses  considered 
previously*  which  were  bounded  by  a  value  of  U  equal  to  the  maximum  ground 
displacement*  the  spectra  presented  in  this  section  have  values  of  U  exceeding 
the  maximum  ground  displacement  over  a  considerable  range  of  the  frequency 
parameter. 

(b)  For  low-frequency  systems*  the  results  obtained  from  Eqs.  2,42 
and  2.44  are  in  good  agreement  with  the  exact  values.  Hote*  in  particular* 

that  the  approximate  results  define  with  reasonable  accuracy  the  initial  position 
and  the  Initial  slope  of  the  "hump"  on  the  left-hand  portion  of  the  diagram.  In 
the  following  table  the  values  of  t^f  corresponding  to  this  break  in  the  spectra 
are  coapared  with  the  values  obtained  from  Eq.  2.46  for  the  family  of  skewed 
versed -sine  displacement  pulses.

(c)  For  the  motion  considered  In  Fig.  2.24  the  limiting  value  of 
A/y-  for  high-frequency  systems  Is  1.0*  whereas  for  the  motions  considered  in 
Figs.  2.2?  it  Is  equal  to  2.0.  This  is  due  to  the  fact  that  the  acceleration 
function:  of  the  first  motion  is  continuous*  whereas  of  the  second  motion  It  Is 
discontinuous.  These  limiting  values  are  In  agreement  with  those  predicted  by 
the  procedure  described  in  8ection  2.7.2b. 


(d)  The  absolute  maximum  value  of  the  deformation,  Uq,  occurs  during 
free  vibration,  and  the  maximum  value  of  the  pseudo-velocity,  VQ,  either  occurs 
during  free  vibration  (as  in  Figs.  2.24  and  2.25a),  or  is  a  close  approximation 
to  the  corresponding  maximum  obtained  during  free  vibration  (as  in  Fig.  2.25b). 

It  may  be  recalled  that  for  the  half-cycle  velocity  pulses  considered  in 
Section  2.9  similar  results  vere  obtained  for  the  quantities  VQ  and  Aq. 
Accordingly,  the  analogies  given  in  Eq.  2.17  are  applicable,  and  it  follows 
that  the  value  of  UQ/yo  for  a  half-cycle  displacement  function  most  be  equal  to 
the  value  of  VQ/yo  for  a  velocity  input  of  the  same  shape,  and  they  must  occur 
at  the  same  values  of  t.f.  Similarly,  the  coordinates  of  VQ/yo  for  the 
displacement  input  may  be  considered  to  be  the  same  as  those  for  ^Q/VQ  for  the 
corresponding  velocity  input.  That  this  Is  indeed  true  can  be  verified  by 
comparing  the  corresponding  coordinates  of  the  spectra  presented  In  Figs.  2.17 
and  2.25.  The  magnitude  of  Aq  for  the  displacement  pulses  cannot  be  obtained 
by  analogy  of  the  results  presented  previously,  but  it  Is  clear  from  the 
material  already  presented  that  this  quantity  depends  primarily  on  the  number 
of  half-cycles  in  the  Input  acceleration,  on  the  degree  of  regularity  of  the 
Individual  pulses,  and,  to  a  lesser  extent,  on  the  shape  of  the  individual 
pulses.  If  the  spectra  corresponding  to  the  component  pulses  are  available, 
then  the  value  of  Aq  may  be  determined  with  good  accuracy  by  use  of  the  procedure 
described  in  Section  2.8.  In  the  absence  of  detailed  Information  about  the 
characteristics  of  the  ground  acceleration,  the  approximate  design  rule  given 
in  the  next  section  nay  be  used. 

In  Fig.  2.27  are  given  deformation  spectra  for  a  half-sine  displacement 
pulse.  It  is  important  to  note  that,  whereas  the  left-hand  portions  of  these 
spectra  are  quite  similar  to  those  presented  In  Figs.  2.24  and  2.25a,  a  result 
that  might  have  been  anticipated  from  the  similarity  of  the  three  displacement 


2-41 


functions ,  the  right-hand  portions  differ  radically.  It  should  be  apparent 
that  the  medium-frequency  and  high-frequency  regions  of  a  deformation  spectrum 
are  functions  of  the  detailed  or  "microscopic"  features  of  the  displacement 
function,  which  are  generally  difficult  to  ascertain  from  the  displacement 
diagram  Itself.  These  features  are  most  clearly  depicted  in  the  velocity  and 
acceleration  diagrams  of  the  input  motion.  In  Fig.  2.27  the  spectrum  approaches 
a  horizontal  asymptote  because  the  velocity  diagram  of  the  input  motion  is  a 
discontinuous  function  (i.e.  the  acceleration  function  has  Infinite  discontinuities). 

By  utilizing  the  procedure  described  in  Section  2.7.2b  and  the  analogy 
expressed  by  the  second  and  third  terms  in  Eq.  2.11,  it  can  readily  be  shown 
that  as  t.f «  the  maximum  and  minimum  values  of  the  velocity  of  the  mass,  x, 
approach  a  value  equal  to  twice  the  maximum  ground  velocity.  This  relation  is 
also  valid  during  free  vibration.  But,  since  y(t)  -  0  for  t  >  tfl,

2.10.3  Design  Rules.  For  design  purposes,  the  deformation  spectrum 
corresponding  to  a  half-cycle  displacement  pulse,  or  a  pulse  with  partial 
recovery,  may  be  approximated  by  the  diagram  abcdefgh,  as  shown  in  Fig.  2.26. 

For  iaqproved  accuracy,  the  portion  of  the  diagram  between  points  b  and  f  may 
be  replaced  by  smooth  transition  curves  as  shown  by  the  dotted  lines.  The 
time  histories  of  the  displacement,  velocity  and  acceleration  of  the  ground 


2-1*2 


are  considered  to  be  continuous  functions.  The  characteristics  of  this  diagram 
are  as  follows: 

(a)  Along  the  limiting  lines  ab  and  gh,  the  relationship  between 
the  input  and  response  quantities  are  the  same  as  for  the  corresponding  lines 
ab  and  ef  in  Fig.  2.23*  Furthermore,  the  frequency  corresponding  to  point  g 
is  the  same  as  that  for  point  e  in  Fig.  2.23. 

(b)  For  a  displacement  pulse  with  complete  recovery,  the  displacement 
U  along  line  be  is  given  by  the  right-hand  member  of  Eq.  2.44,  and  for  a 
displacement  pulse  with  partial  recovery,  it  is  given  by  Eq.  2.45.

(d)  Along  de,  the  relative  pseudo-velocity  V  1b  equal  to  1.5  times 
the  sum  of  the  absolute  values  of  the  maximum  and  minimum  ground  velocities. 
This  relationship  is  the  same  as  that  between  the  response  acceleration  A  and 
the  input  acceleration  for  line  cd  in  Fig.  2.23*  If  the  velocity  of  the 
ground  is  known  accurately  and  the  deformation  spectra  corresponding  to  the 
component  pulses  of  the  velocity  function  are  available,  then  an  improved 
estimate  of  this  max  Inca  value  of  V  may  be  obtained  in  a  manner  analogous  to 
that  described  in  Section  2.8. 

(e)  Along  line  ef,  the  acceleration  A  is  proportional  to  the 
maviwniw  input  acceleration,  the  ratio  of  proportionality  depending  on  the 
degree  of  regularity  of  the  input  function.  If  the  durations  for  the  indivi¬ 
dual  pulses  of  the  ground  acceleration  are  approximately  equal  to  each  other, 
then  the  value  of  A  along  this  line  nay  be  determined  from  the  expression

where  (y )  Is  the  amplitude  of  the  Jth  half -cycle,  and  n  is  the  number  of 

O  J 

half-cycles  present.  If  the  amplitudes  of  the  individual  pulses  are  of  the 
same  order  of  magnitude  but  their  durations  differ  appreciably,  then  the  result 
obtained  from  this  equation  may  be  quite  conservative.  If  the  deformation 
spectra  for  the  component  pulses  are  available,  an  improved  estimate  of  Aq  may 
be  obtained  by  the  procedure  described  in  Section  2.8. 

(f)  The  frequency  corresponding  to  point  f  is  determined  from 

Eq.  2.4l,  where  t.  should  be  interpreted  as  the  average  duration  of  the 
x,a 

acceleration  half- cycles  contributing  over  fifty  percent  of  the  value  of  AQ. 

The  curve  fg  is  similar  to  the  curve  de  in  Fig.  2.23. 

(g)  Hie  transition  curves  represented  by  the  dotted  line  are  tangent 
to  the  corresponding  straight  line  segments  at  points  b,  1,  J  and  f .  Frequently, 
the  lengths  of  the  straight  line  segments  between  b  and  f  are  small,  and  the 
transition  curves  can  be  drawn  vlthout  having  to  evaluate  the  location  of 
points  1  and  J.  When  this  is  not  the  case,  the  frequency  corresponding  to 
point  1  may  be  determined  from  the  following  expression,  obtained  by  analogy  to 
Eq.  2.40b, 

t  f  =  0.4  (2.48x)

and  the  frequency  corresponding  to  point  J,  may  be  determined  from  the  expression 

t^vf  -  0.6  (2.49) 

where  t.  is  the  duration  of  the  velocity  half-cycle  with  the  maximum  amplitude .

Strictly  speaking,  Eq.  2.40b  Is  applicable  only  to  displacement  pulses  with

complete  recovery,  but,  for  want  of  any  better  information.  It  may  also  be 
used  for  pulses  with  partial  recovery.  It  should  be  noted  that  points  1  and 
t,  which  are  analogous  to  points  h  and  d  In  Pig.  2.23,  should  be  within  the 
limits  of  the  lines  cd  and  de,  as  shown  in  the  figure. 

2.11  Deformation  Spectra  for  Undamped  Systems  Subjected  to  Full -Cycle 
Displacement  Pulses 

For  the  typical  full-cycle  displacement  pulse  shown  in  Fig.  2.29, 
let  (y  ),  and  (y  )„  denote  the  numerical  values  of  the  first  and  second 
extremums,  and  (t  )^  and  (tQ)2  denote  the  corresponding  times.  In  addition, 
let  t^  denote  the  total  duration  of  the  function,  and  t^  and  denote  the 
durations  of  the  first  and  the  second  half -cycles . 

2.11.1  Low  Frequency  Systems.  As  previously  explained,  in  the 
Interval  0  <  t  <  t^  the  time  history  of  the  deformation  for  systems  with  small 
values  of  t^f  may  be  taken  equal  and  opposite  to  that  of  the  ground.  Accord¬ 
ingly,  the  first  extremum  value  of  the  deformation,  (u^,  will  occur  at 
t  •  (tQ)^,  and  will  be  given  by  the  expression 

<tto>l  2  '  (2*5°) 

The  second  extremum,  (uq)2,  will  occur  at  t  *  (t0)2  will  be  given  by 
the  expression 

(uc)2  s  (y0}2  <2.51») 

Eq.  (2.31a)  is  valid  for  very  soft  systems,  or  more  precisely,  for 
values  of  t^f  — •*  0.  For  somewhat  stiff er  systems,  a  better  estimate  of  (uq)2 
may  be  obtained  from  the  expression 

(u0)2  8  (lKr)1  •!«»  Ip(*0)2]  ♦  (f0)2  (2.51b) 

where,  for  values  of  p(t0)g  greater  than  x/2,  the  term  sln[p(t0)2l  should  be 
taken  as  one.  The  quantity  (7aT)^  1*  this  equation  denotes  the  average  value 


2  -*$ 


of  the  displacement  between  t  *  0  and  t  ■  t^,  and  the  term  Involving  (y 
represents  the  simple  impulse  theory  approximation  to  the  contribution  of  the 
first  pulse. 

The  third  extremum  value  of  the  deformation,  (uQ)y  occurs  during 
free  vibration.  For  a  displacement  function  for  which  the  areas  under  the 
positive  and  negative  parts  are  equal,  the  value  of  this  extremum  is  given  by 
the  following  expression  which,  by  virtue  of  the  similarity  of  Eqs.  2.3  and 
2.4,  may  be  obtained  directly  from  Eq.  2.38b  by  replacing  'yi  t)  by  p2y( f) 

*d 

KU0)3I  <  p2/  y(T)TdT  (2.52)

The  absolute  maximum  value  of  the  deformation,  U,  is  the  numerically 
greatest  of  the  values  given  by  Eqs.  2.50,  2.51b  and  2.52.  When  (y©)2  >  (y©)^ 
the  second  extremum  is  numerically  greater  than  the  first,  and  Eq.  2.50  need 
not  be  considered  if  only  the  absolute  maxi  imam  value  of  the  deformation  is 
required. 

2.11.2  Presentation  and  Discussion  of  Data.  In  Fig.  2.30  is  given 
the  deformation  spectrum  corresponding  to  a  full-cycle  displacement  function 
which  is  Identical  in  shape  to  the  velocity  diagram  of  the  half-cycle  displacement 
pulse  considered  in  Fig.  2.24.  In  the  extreme  left-hand  portion  of  the  figure, 
the  first  three  extremum  values  of  the  deformation  are  shown  separately,  along 
with  the  corresponding  results  obtained  from  the  approximate  equations  of  the 
preceding  section.  Similar  information  is  presented  in  Figs.  2.31a  through 
2.32  for  a  family  of  displacement  functions  composed  of  a  sequence  of  two  half- 
slne  waves.  These  functions  are  identical  to  the  velocity  diagrams  considered 
in  Figs.  2.25a  through  2.26. 

2-46 


The  following  results  are  worth  noting: 

(a)  For  low-frequency  systems,  the  results  obtained  by  the 
approximate  equations  are  in  reasonable  agreement  with  the  exact  values. 

(b)  The  magnitude  and  location  of  the  absolute  may-imum  deformation 
Uq  for  the  spectrum  presented  in  Fig.  2. 50  are  identical  to  those  of  Vq  for 
the  spectrum  presented  in  Fig.  2.24.  This  result  is  a  consequence  of  the 
analogy  expressed  by  the  first  two  terms  in  Eq.  2.17.  The  same  is  also  true  of 
the  coordinates  of  UQ  in  Figs.  2.51a  through  5*52  and  the  coordinates  of  Vq 

of  the  corresponding  spectra  in  Figs.  2.25a  and  2.26. 

(c)  The  coordinates  of  the  absolute  maximum  pseudo-velocity,  V  , 
for  the  spectra  in  Figs.  2.50  through  2.52  are  identical  to,  or  approximately 
equal  to,  the  coordinates  of  the  absolute  maximum  pseudo-acceleration,  Aq,  of 
the  corresponding  spectra  in  Figs.  2.24  through  2.26.  The  approximation  in 
this  case  arises  from  the  fact  that  these  maxima  generally  do  not  occur  during 
free  vibration,  and  the  analogy  expressed  by  the  last  two  terms  in  Eq.  2.17  is 
not  strictly  applicable. 

(d)  In  contrast  to  the  spectrum  in  Fig.  2.50  which  at  high  frequencies 
approaches  a  diagonal  asymptote,  the  spectra  in  Figs.  2.51  and  2.52  approach 

a  horizontal  asymptote.  This  difference  can  best  be  explained  by  reference  to 
the  acceleration  diagrams  of  the  ground  motion.  In  Fig.  2.50  the  acceleration 
function  has  finite  discontinuities,  and  the  limiting  value  of  the  deformation 
spectrum  is  A/yQ  •  5.0,  as  might  have  been  predicted  by  the  procedure  presented 
in  Section  2.7.2b.  On  the  other  hand,  the  curves  in  Figs.  2.51  and  2.52 
approach  a  horizontal  asymptote  because  the  velocity  diagram  of  the  input  motion 
is  discontinuous,  l.e.  the  acceleration  function  has  Infinite  discontinuities. 

If  both  the  ground  velocity  and  the  ground  acceleration  were  continuous,  the 
limiting  value  of  A  would  have  been  equal  to  the  maximal  ground  acceleration. 


2.11.3  Design  Rules.  On  the  basis  of  the  Information  presented,  it 
is  concluded  that  the  response  spectrum  for  a  full-cycle  displacement  function 
may  be  approximated  by  the  diagram  shown  In  Fig.  2.33.  Both  the  displacement 
function  and  its  first  two  derivatives  are  assumed  to  be  continuous . 

Along  the  straight  line  aa*,  the  displacement  U  is  equal  to  the  first 
wtfnHwnm  ground  displacement.  Curve  a'b  is  defined  by  Eq.  2.31b,  and  point  b 
Is  the  intersection  of  this  curve  and  the  curve  represented  by  the  right  hand 
member  of  Eq.  2.32.  Along  the  straight  line  cd,  the  displacement  U  Is  equal 
to  1.3  times  the  sum  of  the  absolute  values  of  the  maximum  ground  displacements. 
Point  1,  which  is  equivalent  to  point  J  in  Fig.  2.28,  corresponds  to  a 
frequency  determined  from  the  expression 

tx,df  S  0.6  (2.53) 

where  t,  .  Is  the  duration  of  the  displacement  pulse  with  the  maxi  mum  enroll  - 
l,d 

tude.  This  point  should  lie  to  the  left  of  point  d.  The  velocity  V  along  the 
horizontal  line  de  may  be  approximated  by  the  expression 

V  -  1.5  £  (2#54) 

>1 

If  the  deformation  spectra  corresponding  to  the  component  velocity  pulses  are 
available,  a  more  accurate  estimate  of  V  may  be  obtained  with  the  aid  of  the 
procedure  described  in  Section  2.8.  The  remaining  features  of  this  spectrum 
are  similar  to  those  of  the  spectrum  given  In  Fig.  2.28. 

2.12  Relationship  of  Computed  Results  to  Field  Test  Data 

The  approximate  rules  presented  In  the  preceding  section  are  substan¬ 
tiated  by  the  results  of  the  field  tests  analyzed  In  Ref.  1.  Included  In  this 
reference  are  response  spectra  for  systems  with  a  very  small  amount  of  damping 
(0.3  percent  critical)  subjected  to  the  horizontal  and  vertical  components  of 


2-48 


the  ground  motions  measured  In  a  number  of  field  tests.  These  spectra  are 
given  in  dimensionless  plots  similar  to  those  used  in  the  present  study.  The 
relative  pseudo-velocity  V  is  normalized  vlth  respect  to  the  so-called  -'velocity 
Jump"  which  may  be  considered  to  be  equal  to  the  maximum  ground  velocity,  and 
the  frequency  scale  is  taken  as  the  product  of  the  natural  frequency  of  the 
system  and  the  "duration"  of  the  velocity  pulse.  The  latter  quantity  is  taken 
as  the  time  from  arrival  of  the  velocity  Jump  to  the  first  zero  value  of  the 
ground  velocity. 

Three  classes  of  spectra  are  distinguished  in  Ref.  1  depending  on 
the  direction  of  the  motion  and  the  distance  of  the  point  under  consideration 
from  ground  zero.  These  correspond  to: 

1.  Vertical  motions  in  the  superselsmlc  region  of  the  blast. 

2.  Vertical  motions  in  the  subselsmic  region  of  the  blast,  and 

3.  Horizontal  motions  in  general. 

From  the  discussion  in  Section  2.6  it  follows  that  the  spectra  in 
Item  1  should  be  compared  with  those  for  half -cycle  velocity  pulses,  and  the 
spectra  of  Item  2  should  be  compared  with  those  for  half -cycle  displacement 
pulses  or  for  displacement  pulses  with  partial  recovery.  Finally,  the  spectra 
in  Item  3  should  be  compared  with  those  for  half-cycle  displacement  pulses  and 
possibly  for  displacement  pulses  having  both  positive  and  negative  parts.  On 
making  these  comparisons,  one  finds  that  the  agreement  between  corresponding 
spectra  is  in  general  very  good. 

The  important  features  of  the  spectra  given  in  Ref.  1  are  as  follows. 
For  vertical  motions  in  the  superselsmlc  region  of  the  blast,  the  values  of 
U  are  consistently  smaller  than  the  maximum  ground  displacement,  and  the  maxi¬ 
mum  value  of  V  is  about  1.3  times  the  maximum  ground  velocity.  It  is  parti¬ 
cularly  noteworthy  that,  in  the  regions  of  the  spectrum  where  U  pr  V  nay  be 


2-49 


considered  to  be  constant,  the  results  fall  vithln  a  very  narrow  band,  whereas 
for  the  high-frequency  region  of  the  diagram  the  "scatter"  is  considerable. 

These  trends  correspond  almost  exactly  to  those  of  the  spectra  for  half-cycle 
velocity  pulses  presented  in  Section  2.9,  as  may  readily  be  appreciated  by 
referring  to  Figs.  2.18  or  2.22c.  The  "scatter"  in  the  high  frequency  range 
emphasizes  the  difficulties  Involved  in  specifying  precisely  the  value  of  the 
maximum  ground  acceleration.  The  value  of  t^f  corresponding  to  the  peak  value 
of  the  spectra  in  Ref.  1  ranges  between  a  value  of  1  and  3>  from  which  it  may 
be  inferred  that  the  dominant  velocity  pulse  of  the  ground  is  highly  unsymaetrical. 

For  vertical  motions  in  the  subseismic  regions  of  the  blast  and  for 
horizontal  motions  in  general,  the  maximum  values  of  U  in  Ref.  1  range  from 
1.5  to  slightly  more  than  2  times  the  maximum  input  displacement,  the  greater 
values  corresponding  to  horizontal  motions.  The  maximum  values  of  V  lie 
between  2  and  2.5  times  the  maxi  mum  ground  velocity  for  motions  in  the  vertical 
direction,  and  between  2  and  2.8  for  horizontal  motions. 

2.13  Deformation  Spectra  for  Damped  Systems 

In  Figs.  2.34  through  2.43b  are  given  deformation  spectra  for  danqped 
systems  with  coefficients  of  viscous  damping  between  zero  and  100  percent 
critical  for  the  following  classes  of  ground  motion: 

(a)  A  family  of  skewed  versed-sine  velocity  pulses  with  rise- 
duration  ratios  cf  l/2,  l/4  and  l/8  (Figs.  2.34  through  2.36) 

(b)  The  following  half -cycle  displacement  pulses:  A  pulse  for 
which  the  acceleration  diagram  consists  of  a  sequence  of  three 
half -sine  waves  of  the  same  amplitude  but  different  durations 
(Fig.  2.37)>  *  family  of  displacement  pulses  having  the  shape 
of  the  velocity  pulses  considered  under  item  (a)  (Figs.  2.38 
through  2.40),  and  a  half-sin*  displacement  puls*  (Fig.  2.41). 


2-50 


(c)  The  following  full-cycle  displacement  functions:  A  displacement 
function  having  the  shape  of  the  velocity  diagram  for  the  first 
motion  considered  under  item  (b)  (Fig.  2.42),  and  two  functions 
composed  of  a  sequence  of  two  half-sine  waves  each  (Figs.  2.42a 
and  2.42b). 

It  can  clearly  be  seen  from  these  figures  that  the  overall  effect 
of  damping  is  to  reduce  the  magnitude  of  the  maximum  deformations,  and  to 
smooth  out  the  humps  and  undulations  of  the  spectra.  It  is  also  clear  that 
the  extent  of  the  reduction  is  generally  different  for  the  different  frequency 
regions,  and  that,  within  a  given  range  of  frequencies,  it  is  different  for 
the  different  ground  motions. 

For  the  simple  pulses  considered,  the  effectiveness  of  damping  in 
reducing  the  magnitude  of  the  maximum  deformation  can  be  related  to: 

(a)  the  number  of  oscillations  that  the  system  undergoes  before 
attaining  its  maximal  deformation,  and 

(b)  the  amplitude  of  the  oscillatory  component  of  the  response. 

The  latter  component  corresponds  to  the  solution  of  the  homogeneous  part  of 
the  governing  differential  equation  of  motion. 

In  general,  other  things  being  equal,  the  greater  the  number  of 
oscillations  or  the  amplitude  of  the  oscillatory  component,  the  greater  is  the 
reduction  achieved  with  a  given  amount  of  damping. 

In  the  low-frequency  region  of  the  spectrum,  the  effectiveness  of 
damping  is  generally  small  because  the  maximum  value  of  the  deformation  is 
reached  at  a  small  fraction  of  the  natural  period  of  the  system.  Since  the 

deformation  in  this  region  occurs  at  or  near  the  instant  that  the  ground 
displacement  attains  its  maximum  value,  it  follows  that  in  comparing  the  spectra 
for  the  different  ground  motions  considered,  the  comparisons  should  be  made  for 
fixed  values  of  where  tf  ^  is  the  rise  time  to  the  peak  ground  displacement. 


2-51 


fig.  2.36  shows  that,  for  snail  values  of  the  frequency  parameter, 
damping  has  a  greater  effect  on  the  positive  deformations  than  on  the 

corresponding  negative  deformations.  This  condition  arises  from  the  fact  that 
u^ir|  corresponds  to  the  first  extremw,  whereas  v^aax  corresponds  to  the  second. 
Similar  results  are  indicated  in  Pig.  2.40  for  a  versed -sine  dlsplacesmnt  pulse, 
but  in  this  case  the  reduction  for  is  comparatively  less  pronounced  than 
in  the  preceding  case.  This  difference  can  again  be  explained  in  terms  of  the 
times  at  which  the  respective  ■**“<■*  occur.  For  the  versed-sine  velocity  pulse 
considered  in  Fig.  2.36,  uw>r  occurs  approximately  at  one-half  the  natural 
period  of  the  system  after  the  time  of  maximum  ground  displacement,  whereas  for 
the  versed- sine  displacement  pulse  considered  in  Fig.  2.40,  it  occurs  at  one- 
quatter  the  natural  period  of  the  system.  These  values  were  noted  before  in 
connection  with  undamped  systems. 

In  the  high-frequency  region  of  the  spectrum,  the  effect  of  damping 
depends  on  the  amplitude  of  the  oscillatory  component  of  the  motion,  and  this 
amplitude  depends,  in  turn,  on  whether  the  ground  acceleration  is  a  continuous 
or  a  discontinuous  function.  For  the  input  functions  considered  in  Figs.  2.34 
through  2.37,  for  which  the  ground  acceleration  is  continuous,  the  effect  of 
damping  can  be  seen  to  be  negligible.  In  contrast,  for  the  pulses  considered 
in  Figs.  2.38  through  2.40,  for  which  the  ground  acceleration  is  discontinuous, 
the  maximum  reductions  achieved  are  of  the  order  of  30  percent  for  values  of 
0  >  1.00.  The  reductions  for  a  given  amount  of  damping  are  even  greater  for 
the  full-cycle  displacement  pulse  considered  In  Fig.  2.42.  For  the  pulses  in 
Figs.  2.38  through  2.40,  the  absolute  mart  mum  value  of  the  deformation  corresponds 
to  the  first  STtraanim  value,  and  It  may  be  approximated  by  the  following 
expression,  which  Is  applicable  to  a  step  acceleration  function  of  long  duration. 


(2.55) 


This  equation  Is  valid  for  values  of  0  less  than  one.  lote  that  Its  first 
term,  vhich  corresponds  to  the  particular  solution  of  the  governing  differential 
equation  of  notion,  Is  Independent  of  damping  and  equals  the  maximum  input 
acceleration.  Equation  2.55  la  also  applicable  to  the  full-cycle  dlsplacsaent 
pulse  considered  In  Fig.  2.42,  provided  the  aaount  of  (leaping  In  the  system  is 
sufficiently  large  such  that  the  first  extras—  value  of  deformation  represents 
the  absolute  maxis—  deformation.  The  results  presented  indicate  that  this 
condition  holds  true  for  values  of  0  equal  to  or  greater  than  about  0.05> 

In  the  high  frequency  region  of  Fig.  2.40,  It  is  of  Interest  to  note 
that,  whereas  for  undamped  and  for  critically  damped  systems,  and  u^1n 
are  numerically  equal  to  each  other,  for  systsms  with  0  -  0.20,  u^<n  is 
numerically  greater  than  u^v.  This  result  can  be  explained  with  reference 
to  Fig.  2.10e  vhich  shows  the  input  acceleration  together  with  the  response 
acceleration  for  a  high  frequency  undamped  system.  It  can  be  seen  that  the 
first  maximum  positive  acceleration  (corresponding  to  occurs  at  a  very 

early  stage  of  the  motion,  whereas  the  first  maximal  negative  acceleration 
(corresponding  to  u^,)  occurs  near  the  middle  of  the  pulse,  after  the  system 
has  executed  several  cycles  of  oscillation.  Although  for  an  undamped  system 
these  two  maxima  are  z— erlcally  equal,  for  a  system  with  damping  u^in  governs 
because  it  occurs  earlier  than  u^y.  For  a  critically  damped  system,  the  two 
maxima  are  nearly  the  same  because  the  oscillatory  component  of  the  deformation 
Is  negligible  In  this  case,  and  the  remaining  component,  vhich  is  proportional 
to  the  input  acceleration,  has  the  same  positive  and  negative  parts. 

For  the  displacement  pulses  considered  In  Figs.  2.45a  and  2.45b,  the 
maximum  deformation  of  a  high-frequency  undamped  system  occurs  mostly  during 


2-53 


free  vibration,  following  the  second  discontinuity  in  the  velocity  diagram. 

Tor  a  system  with  a  substantial  amount  of  damping,  however,  the  oscillatory 
ccaponent  of  the  motion  induced  by  the  first  discontinuity  is  generally  damped 
out  by  the  time  the  second  discontinuity  is  applied,  with  the  result  that  the 
maximum  deformation  during  free  vibration  is  no  larger  than  that  attained 
during  forced  vibration.  Under  these  circumstances,  the  deformation  of 

the  system  can  be  approximated  by  the  following  expression  that  gives  the  effect 
of  a  sudden  velocity  change  without  rebound.  The  equation  la  valid  for  values 
of  0  <  1. 

— 6 -  t*,-1  £12]  (2.56) 

The  results  obtained  from  this  equation  are  found  to  be  in  good  agreement  with 
the  exact  results  for  systems  with  values  of  t^f  greater  than  about  2  and 
values  of  fi  greater  than  about  0.10.  For  smaller  values  of  0,  Eq.  2.56  defines 
the  lover  envelope  of  the  response  spectra. 

Excepting  ground  motions  for  which  the  acceleration  and/or  velocity 
diagrams  are  discontinuous,  it  can  be  said  that  the  effect  of  damping  is 
greatest  in  the  medium-frequency  region  of  the  spectrum,  both  because  the 
amplitude  of  the  oscillatory  coaqponent  of  the  response  is  appreciable  in  this 
case  and  because  the  maxima  deformation  of  the  undamped  system  is  usually 
attained  near  the  end  of  the  disturbance,  after  the  system  has  undergone  one 
or  more  cycles  of  oscillation.  For  this  region,  the  greater  the  periodicity 
of  the  Input  motion,  the  greater  is  the  reduction  in  the  peak  value  of 
deformation  achieved  with  a  given  amount  of  damping.  Of  course,  the  response 
of  the  elastic  system  inereames  with  Increasing  periodicity  of  the  input  motion. 


These  conditions  are  Illustrated  In  Figs.  2.44a  through  2.44d  where 
deformation  spectra  are  presented  for  systems  subjected  to  velocity  functions 
composed  of  from  one  to  four  parabolic  pulses  of  equal  amplitude  and  duration, 
as  shorn  in  the  inset  diagrams.  Hote  that,  vhereas  the  peak  values  of  the 
undamped  spectra  increase  in  almost  direct  proportion  to  the  number  of  velocity 
pulses  in  the  input  motion,  the  corresponding  values  of  the  spectra  for  highly 
damped  systems  remain  virtually  unchanged.  Bote,  in  particular,  that  the 
curves  in  Figs.  2.44b  through  2.44d  are  almost  identical  to  each  other  for 
values  of  0  >  0.5.  In  these  cases,  the  order  of  the  controlling  maximum  is 
the  same,  and  it  corresponds  to  an  early,  usually  the  first  or  second,  maximum. 

It  should  finally  be  noted  that  the  peak  values  of  U,  V  and  A  for  elastic 
systems  are  in  good  agreement  with  the  approximate  rules  that  have  been  presented. 

2.14  Deformation  Spectra  for  a  Combination  of  Simple  Pulses 

The  information  in  this  section  is  intended  to  illustrate  the 
manner  in  which  the  deformation  spectra  for  simple  pulses  presented  in  the 
preceding  sections  nay  be  modified  by  the  effect  of  high  frequency  oscillations 
that  may  be  superlsposed  on  the  main  pulses.  The  procedure  used  to  arrive  at 
this  information  is  approximate,  and  the  results  are  mainly  of  qualitative 
significance. 

Let  V1  and  Vg  denote  the  values  of  the  pseudo-velocity  corresponding 
to  the  primary  and  the  secondary  pulse  of  the  ground  motion,  respectively,  and 
let  V  be  the  corresponding  value  for  the  combined  pulse.  The  value  of  V  nay 
then  be  determined  by  a  procedure  analogous  to  that  presented  in  Section  2.8, 
or  more  simply  by  taking  the  sum  of  the  may  1mm  contributions  of  the  component 
pulses,  l.e. 


That  the  value  of  V  determined  from  this  equation  may  he  considerably  greater 
than  the  actual  value,  may  be  appreciated  by  noting  that  Eq.  2.57  la  Independent 
of  the  relative  position  of  the  component  pulses. 

In  Figs.  2.45a  and  2.45b  are  given  deformation  Spectra  determined  by 
application  of  Eq.  2.57  for  a  combination  of  two  versed-sine  velocity  pulses, 
as  shown  in  the  inset  diagrams.  The  quantities  a^  and  ag  in  these  figures 
denote  the  maximum  accelerations  of  the  primary  and  the  secondary  pulse, 
respectively,  and  v^  and  denote  the  corresponding  maximum  velocities.  The 
total  duration  of  the  primary  pulse  is  denoted  by  V  and  that  of  the  secondary 
pulse  by  tg.  In  these  figures,  both  the  frequency  parameter  used  as  abscissa 
and  the  response  quantities  are  normalised  with  respect  to  the  relevant  dimensions 
of  the  primary  pulse. 

Figure  2.44a  illustrates  the  method  of  computation  for  a  combination 
of  versed-slnce  pulses  with  tg/t^  •  0.1  and  Vg/v^  -  0.5.  The  ratio  of  the  maxi¬ 
mum  accelerations  Sg/a^  is  given  by  the  equation 

i.Zsi 

•1  ri  *2 

and  corresponds  to  a  value  of  5*  The  dashed  line  curve  on  the  left  shows  the 
spectrum  for  the  primary  pulse.  The  corresponding  curve  on  the  right  is  the 
smma  as  but  displaced  along  the  frequency  axis  by  the  amount  t^/tg.  The 
solid  line,  representing  the  spectrum  for  the  combined  pulse,  is  obtained  by 
to  the  ordinates  of  the  curve  the  ordinates  of  the  displaced  curve 
multiplied  by  the  ratio  Vg/v^. 

The  spectra  in  Fig.  2.45b  are  for  pulses  with  different  combinations 
of  tg/t&  and  Vg/v^,  as  shown  in  the  figure.  It  can  clearly  be  seen  from  these 


2-56 


plots  that  the  secondary  pulse  has  practically  no  effect  on  the  low-frequency 
region  of  the  spectrum.  This  result  might  have  been  anticipated  from  the 
material  presented  previously,  since  the  maximum  displacement  of  the  ground, 
which  controls  the  maximum  deformation  of  low-frequency  systems,  It  practically 
unaffected  by  the  high-amplitude  high-frequency  acceleration  pulses  considered 
In  these  exasples. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  high-frequency  region  of  the  spectrum  is 
Influenced  to  a  very  significant  degree  by  the  superimposed  oscillation,  since 
the  magnitude  of  the  maximum  input  acceleration,  which  controls  the  response  In 
this  case,  is  Increased  significantly.  In  each  case,  the  limiting  value  of  A 
becomes  equal  to  the  maximum  possible  value  of  the  acceleration  of  the  combined 
pulse,  ^  ♦  Sg. 

In  the  Intermediate  range  of  frequencies,  the  spectrum  for  the  primary 
pulse  Is  modified  In  two  significant  respects:  It  becomes  wider,  and  a  second 
peak  appears  at  the  frequency  corresponding  to  the  peak  of  the  displaced  curve. 

In  addition,  the  peak  value  of  the  spectrum  for  the  main  pulse  Is  Increased,  but 
this  change  la  relatively  small  for  the  range  of  parameters  considered.  From  a 
consideration  of  the  manner  In  which  the  spectrum  for  the  combined  pulse  la 
obtained,  It  should  be  clear  that,  other  things  being  equal,  the  distance  between 
peaks  will  Increase  with  decreasing  value  of  the  level  of  the  second 

peak  will  Increase  with  Increasing  value  of  Vg/v^,  and  the  increase  In  the  peak 
value  of  the  spectrum  for  the  primary  pulse  will  be  less  significant  for  highly 
peaked  spectra  than  for  spectra  having  a  flat  top. 

The  trend  referred  to  in  the  last  statement  can  be  seen  in  Pig.  2.46 
which  Includes  deformation  spectra  for  a  combination  of  two  full-cycle  sinusoidal 
velocity  pulses,  lots  that,  for  the  same  values  of  the  parameters,  the  percen¬ 
tage  increase  In  the  peak  value  of  the  spectrum  for  the  primary  pulse  is  smaller 


2-57 


In  this  figure  than  for  the  spec t run  given  In  Fig.  2.45b.  The  one  additional 
difference  between  the  seta  of  curves  given  in  the  two  figures  Is  that  In 
Fig.  2.46  the  Halting  value  of  A  at  high  frequencies  Is  2(a^  +  a,,)  Instead  of 
+  8^.  This  difference  Is  a  consequence  of  the  discontinuities  in  the  Input 
acceleration  function. 

If  the  secondary  component  of  the  input  function  has  several  pulses 
of  nearly  equal  amplitudes  but  different  durations ,  the  spectrum  for  the  combined 
notion  would  exhibit  several  peaks  corresponding  to  the  peaks  of  the  component 
spectra. 

Finally,  the  general  shape  of  the  curves  presented  In  Figs.  2.45b  and 
2.46  emphasize  that  the  middle  region  of  the  spectrum  for  a  combination  of  pulses 
cannot  be  determined  on  the  basis  of  the  maximum  values  alone  of  the  Input 
velocity  and  acceleration  functions,  but  that  proper  regard  should  also  be  given 
to  the  detailed  features  of  these  functions.  In  particular,  the  results  obtained 
may  be  quite  conservative  If  the  middle  region  of  the  spectrum  Is  approximated 
by  a  horizontal  line  and  a  diagonal  line  of  constant  value  of  A,  as  was  recommended 
for  the  case  of  simple  pulses.  However,  such  errors  are  likely  to  be  Important 
only  when  a^/a^  is  large  and  Vg/v^  Is  small,  that  Is  when  the  secondary 
acceleration  pulses  are  of  very  high  amplitude  and  short  duration. 

2.15  Deformation  Spectra  for  Systems  Subjected  to  Earthquake  Motions 

2.15.1  General.  It  Is  shown  In  this  section  that  the  significant 
features  of  the  deformation  spectra  corresponding  to  ground  motions  even  of  the 
complexity  of  those  induced  by  strong  motion  earthquakes  can  be  estimated  with 
reasonable  accuracy  from  the  Information  for  simple  pulses  that  has  been 
presented  In  the  preceding  sections.  To  accomplish  this,  the  acceleration, 
velocity  and  displacement  of  the  ground  must  be  known  as  a  function  of  time. 


2-56 


The  left-hand  portion  of  the  spectrum  may  then  be  estimated  frcm  the 
characteristics  of  the  displacement  function,  the  middle  portion  may  be 
estimated  from  the  characteristics  of  the  velocity  function,  and  the  right-hand 
portion  may  be  estimated  from  the  characteristics  of  the  acceleration  function. 

The  Input  motions  considered  in  this  study  include  the  nearly  north- 
south  component  of  the  ground  motion  recorded  during  the  Eureka,  California 
earthquake  of  21  December  1954,  and  the  north-south  component  of  the  record 
obtained  during  the  El  Centro,  California  earthquake  of  May  18,  1940.  The 
time  histories  of  the  acceleration,  velocity,  and  displacement  for  these  motions 
are  shown  in  Figs.  2.47  and  2.46.  The  maximum  absolute  value  of  an  input  func¬ 
tion  will  be  Identified  with  the  subscript  o,  and  the  subscript  o,p  will  be 
used  for  value  of  the  dominant  wave  in  the  primary  component  of  that 

function.  The  recorded  accelerograms  were  approximated  by  a  series  of  straight 
line  segments,  and  the  velocity  and  displacement  histories  were  determined  by 
numerical  Integration.  The  base  line  of  the  accelerograms  was  adjusted  so  that 
the  resulting  velocity  diagram  oscillated  about  the  zero  line,  and  certain 
minor  adjustments  were  made  at  the  beginning  of  the  records  to  account  for 
uncertainties  regarding  the  time  of  initiation  of  the  shock. 

2.15*2  Presentation  of  Data.  The  deformation  spectra  corresponding 
to  these  records  are  given  in  Figs.  2.49  and  2.51  for  systems  with  coefficients 
of  damping  in  the  range  between  zero  and  40  percent  critical.  In  addition, 
the  times  of  occurrence  of  these  maxima,  tQ,  are  plotted  in  Figs.  2.50  and  2.52 
as  a  function  of  frequency.  The  data  used  to  prepare  these  plots  are  tabulated 
in  Appendix  A  along  with  the  maximum  values  of  the  quantities  u,  U,  x,  £  and 
x,  and  their  associated  times  of  occurrence. 

Each  of  the  curves  was  established  with  22  data  points.  For  the 
XI  Centro  record,  soma  additional  solutions  ware  obtained  for  systems  with 


2-59 


0  *  0.02,  to  evaluate  the  detailed  feature  a  of  the  apectra.  These  results  are 
presented  in  Fig.  2.55,  la  which  the  solutions  used  earlier  are  represented  by 
open  circles  and  the  additional  solutions  are  shorn  in  solid  circles.  It  can 
be  seen  that  the  data  points  corresponding  to  the  coarse  frequency  Interval 
define  with  reasonable  accuracy  the  salient  features  of  the  actual  spectra. 

The  accuracy  should  be  still  better  for  systeas  having  nore  than  2  percent 
critical  daaplng,  since  the  irregularities  of  the  spectra  generally  decrease 
with  increasing  daaplng. 

There  are  striking  similarities  between  the  spectra  presented  in 
these  figures  and  aany  of  the  spectra  for  staple  pulses  presented  earlier. 
Specifically,  at  low  frequencies,  the  deformation  U  approaches  the 
ground  displacement,  y  ;  at  high  frequencies,  the  acceleration  A  approaches 
the  maximal  value  of  the  ground  acceleration,  yQ;  at  the  intermediate  fre¬ 
quency  range,  the  pseudo- velocity  is  nearly  constant;  and  the  maxima  values  of 
U  and  A  occur  to  the  left  and  to  the  right  of  this  Intermediate  nearly  flat 
region.  (The  magnitudes  of  these  maxima  will  be  considered  later.)  Furthermore, 
as  mould  be  expected  from  the  data  and  the  discussion  presented  earlier  for 
staple  pulse-like  Inputs  with  continuous  acceleration  diagrams,  the  effect  of 
daaplng  is  most  pronounced  in  the  intermediate  frequency  range  and  is  practically 
negligible  at  very  low  and  at  very  high  frequencies. 

The  one  major  difference  between  the  results  presented  in  this 
section  and  those  given  earlier  concerns  the  reduction  in  the  value  of  the 
maximum  response  obtained  with  2  percent  critical  damping.  Whereas  the  reduc¬ 
tion  achieved  is  practically  negligible  for  the  simple  pulses,  for  the  earth¬ 
quake  motions  it  is  quite  significant,  particularly  in  the  region  of  the  spectrum 
where  A  attains  its  maximum  value.  This  difference  is  due  to  the  secondary, 
high  frequency  component  of  the  earthquake  motion,  which,  because  of  its  nearly 


2-60 


periodic  character^  produce*  an  almost  resonant  condition.  The  effectiveness 
of  damping  under  such  a  condition  is  known  to  be  great  acd  to  increase  with 
Increasing  duration  of  the  excitation.  The  resulting  reduction  in  response 
would  be  expected  to  be  particularly  pronounced  in  the  case  of  the  SI  Centro 
record  which  is  of  longer  duration  and  for  which  the  high  frequency  component* 
have  greater  amplitudes  and  occupy  a  greater  portion  of  the  record  than  for  the 
Eureka  record.  This  prediction  is  substantiated  by  the  curves  presented  in 
Fig.  2.50  and  2.52  which  show  that;  for  systems  without  damping;  the  maximum 
deformation  occurs  near  the  end  of  the  record;  while  for  systems  with  as  little 
as  2  percent  critical  damping  it  occurs  at  a  much  earlier  tine.  Vbr  example; 
for  the  El  Centro  record,  the  values  of  A  and  the  associated  times  of  occurrence 
for  systems  with  f  »  20  cps  are  as  follows:

Because  of  this  difference  in  the  response  of  cospletely  undamped 
systems  to  the  two  forms  of  excitation;  and  in  view  of  the  fact  that  all  physical 
systems  have  some  Mount  of  damping;  the  earthquake  spectra  for  0  ■  0.02  will 
be  used  as  a  basis  of  comparison;  and,  unless  otherwise  noted,  they  will  be  con¬ 
sidered  to  be  comparable  to  the  undamped  spectra  for  alsple  pulses. 

In  the  computation  of  the  effects  of  the  earthquake  motion*;  if  only 
the  portion  of  the  record  between  the  origin  and  time  tQ  had  been  considered; 
the  co^uted  value  of  the  maylmw  response  would  obviously  have  been  the  seme. 


2-61 


It  is  important  to  note  that,  even  for  systems  having  as  little  as  2  percent 
critical  damping,  the  portion  of  the  record  which  controls  the  deformation 

is  a  small  fraction  of  the  total  duration  of  the  record. 

2.15.3  Relationship  Between  Characteristics  of  Input  Motions  and 
Response  Spectra.  Tor  the  ground  record  corresponding  to  the  Eureka  quake,  it 
can  be  clearly  seen  from  Fig.  2.47  that  the  moat  significant  portion  of  the 
motion  extends  from  about  2.5  to  7  seconds,  and  thi«  portion  may  be  expected  to 
control  the  response  of  systems  with  damping.  That  this  is  indeed  the  case  can 
be  seen  from  Fig.  2.50  which  shows  that,  with  minor  exceptions,  the  maximum 
deformation  of  systems  with  as  little  as  2  percent  critical  damping  generally 
occurs  at  less  than  7  seconds. 

The  dominant  portions  of  the  velocity  and  displacement  diagrams  for 
the  Eureka  shock  are  reproduced  in  Fig.  2.54a  in  solid  lines.  Superimposed  on 
these  as  dashed  line  curves  are  what  are  considered  to  be  the  primary  components 
of  the  motions. 

In  the  displacement  trace,  the  dominant  pave  is  a  skewed  half-sine 

pulse  with  an  amplitude,  y  ,  slightly  less  than  the  maximum  ground  displacement, 

o,p 

yQ,  and  a  duration  of  about  30  seconds,  as  shown  in  the  figure.  On  the  basis 
of  this  information,  the  left-hand  region  of  the  spectrum  would  be  expected  to 
be  similar  to  the  corresponding  regions  of  the  spectra  shown  in  Fig.  2.26,  with 
the  value  of  U  being  equal  to  the  maximum  ground  displacement  for  frequencies 
determined  from  the  equation 

l  7a 

tdf  <  2*  y^  (»*e  *»• 

and  with  the  frequency  corresponding  to  the  marimum  value  of  U  determined  from 
Eq.  2.48x.  These  frequencies  are

and 

t  -  (0.4)  |  -  0.19  cps 

respectively ,  and  agree  veil  with  the  actual  data  given  in  Fig.  2.49. 

For  0  «  0.02,  the  absolute  value  of  U  is  UQ  ■  1.J2  yQ,  which  considering 

that  y _  -  0.9  y  ,  becomes 

o,p  o' 

U  »  1.5  y 
o  '  'o,p 

This  value  coincides  with  the  value  obtained  from  the  design  spectrum  presented 
in  Fig.  2.26. 

The  primary  component  of  the  velocity  trace  is  a  full-cycle  pulse 
with  an  amplitude  of  about  0.7  yQ  and  an  average  duration  of  about  1.8  secs, 
for  each  half-cycle.  The  total  duration  of  the  three  major  pulses  in  the 
superimposed  secondary  conponent  is  about  1.8  secs.,  as  shown  in  the  figure. 

The  middle  region  of  the  spectrum  would  therefore  be  expected  to  exhibit  two 
major  peaks.  The  one  corresponding  to  the  primary  pulse  would  be  expected 
approximately  at  a  frequency  determined  from  Eq.  2.49,  or  at 

f  -  0.6/1. 8  ■  0.33  cps, 

and  the  second  peak  would  be  expected  at  a  frequency 

f  -  0.6/0. 6  «  1  cps 

These  results  are  also  in  good  agreement  with  the  data  given  in  Fig.  2.49, 
where  it  is  worth  noting  that  the  absolute  maximum  value  of  V  for  0  -  0.02 
occurs  at  0.08  cps,  and  not  at  the  frequency  for  which  the  curve  for  0  ■  0 
attains  its  maximum  value. 


2-63 


The  magnitude  of  the  maximum  amplification  factor  for  V  in  the  middle 

region  of  the  spectrum  is  somewhat  smaller  than  the  value  of  3  which  one  might 

he  temped  to  assume  on  the  basis  of  the  full-cycle  velocity  pulse  that  dominates 

the  ground  motion.  This  apparent  discrepancy  is  due  to  the  fact  that  V  has 

been  normalized  with  respect  to  yQ  instead  of  the  maximum  value  of  the  primary 

component  of  the  velocity,  y  -  0.7  y,. 

o,p  o 

Because  of  the  nearly  erratic  character  of  the  ground  acceleration 
diagram,  the  magnitude  of  the  maximum  value  of  A  cannot  be  estimated  reliably. 
However,  the  significant  features  of  the  high-frequency  portion  of  the  spectrum. 
Including  the  location  of  the  maximum  value  of  A,  can  still  be  related  to  the 
dominant  features  of  the  input  acceleration. 

For  example,  considering  that  the  average  duration  of  the  most  intense 
pulses  in  the  acceleration  trace  of  the  motion  is  of  the  order  of  0.3  secs., 
the  peak  value  of  A  would  be  estimated  to  occur  at  a  frequency 

f  -  0.6/0. 3  -  2  cps. 

Furthermore,  since  the  rise  time  for  the  pulse  corresponding  to  the  maximum 
input  acceleration  is  less  than  one-half  its  duration,  the  frequency  beyond 
which  A  may  be  considered  to  be  equal  to  the  maximum  ground  acceleration  is 
estimated  from  Eq.  2.30  to  be  greater  than 

f  ?  1.25/0.15  -  8.3  cps  . 

These  results  are  again  in  good  agreement  with  the  actual  datA  for  systems 
with  p  -  0.02. 

Referring  now  to  the  El  Centro  earthquake  records  given  in  Fig.  2.1*8, 
one  observes  that  the  most  intense  waves  which  can  be  expected  to  control  the 
response  are  concentrated  in  the  first  6  seconds  of  the  acceleration  and 
velocity  records,  and  in  the  first  10  seconds  of  the  displacement  record.  The 


2-61* 


primary  components  of  the  waves  in  the  early  portions  of  the  velocity  and 
displacement  records  are  shown  in  dashed  lines  in  Fig.  2.54b* 

The  dominant  displacement  wave  is  approximately  a  half-sine  pulse 
with  an  amplitude  nearly  equal  to  the  maximum  ground  displacement  and  an 
effective  duration  of  about  6.1  seconds.  Superimposed  on  this,  there  is  a 
secondary  full-cycle  wave  of  smaller  amplitude  and  duration  of  about  2.2  sec., 
as  shown  in  the  diagram. 

Considering  only  the  contribution  of  the  primary  wave,  the  value  of 
U  TOuld  be  expected  to  be  equal  to  the  maximum  ground  displacement  for  a  range 
of  frequencies  determined  from  Eq.  2.46,  i.ew, 

f  <  53  S 1  '  °-04  <** 

and  the  maximum  value  of  U  would  be  expected  to  occur  (see  Eq.  2.48x)  at 

f  -  (0.4)  |  -  0.10  cps 

In  addition,  a  second  maximum,  corresponding  to  the  effect  of  the  superimposed 
full-cycle  wave  and  of  the  wave  preceding  the  primary  pulse  would  be  expected 
roughly  at  the  average  frequency  of  these  waves,  or  at 

f  -  1/2.65  -  0.38  cps 

Excepting  the  fact  that  the  computed  value  of  U  at  f  «  0.04  cps  is  33  percent 
greater  than  the  estimated  value  of  yQ,  these  results  are  in  excellent  agreement 
with  those  given  in  Fig.  2.53. 

Of  the  two  peak  values  of  U,  the  one  corresponding  to  the  lover 
frequency  has  a  magnitude  of  2.06  yQ,  as  shown  in  Fig.  2.53.  The  difference 
between  this  value  and  the  value  of  1.7  yQ  reported  earlier  for  a  half-sine 
displacement  pulse  is  due  mainly  to  the  neglected  effects  of  the  secondary  wave 
and  of  the  wave  preceding  the  major  pulse,  both  of  which  tend  to  increase  the 


2-65 


response.  The  fact  that  the  maximum  deformation  occurs  near  the  end  of  the 
record  suggests  further  than  the  contribution  of  the  waves  following  the  main 
pulse  is  not  entirely  negligible,  although  it  is  expected  to  be  quite  small. 

The  maximum  possible  contribution  of  the  wave  preceding  the  main  pulse  may  be 
considered  to  be  approximately  equal  to  the  amplitude  of  the  residual  oscillation 
induced  by  a  full -cycle  sinusoidal  wave  with  a  duration  of  3.1  sec.  and  an 
amplitude  of  3  inches.  For  a  system  with  a  natural  frequency  f  *  0.10  cps, 
this  amplitude  is  determined  from  Eq.  2.32  as  1.8  in.,  or  0.22  yQ. 

The  most  significant  part  of  the  primary  component  of  the  ground 
velocity  is  shown  approximately  by  the  dashed  line  in  the  upper  diagram  of 
Fig.  2.54b,  ,  It  consists  of  a  sequence  of  five  half-cycle  waves  the  amplitudes 
and  durations  of  which  are  as  Indicated.  The  amplitudes  of  the  major  waves  in 
the  nearly  periodic,  secondary  component  are  from  about  0.3  to  1.0  times  the 
peak  amplitude  of  the  primary  components  and  their  average  period  is  about  0.7 
seconds . 

The  middle  region  of  the  deformation  spectrum  would,  therefore,  be 

expected  to  have  the  general  appearance  of  the  dashed-dotted  line  curve  shown 

in  Fig.  2.46  with  the  exception  that  the  two  peaks  of  this  curve  should  be 

closer  to  each  other.  The  peak  associated  with  the  primary  waves  would  be 

expected  to  occur  at  a  frequency  determined  from  Eq.  2.49,  with  the  quantity 

t.  taken  as  the  duration  of  the  third  wave  which,  because  of  its  shape  and 
i.,a 

amplitude,  is  believed  to  be  the  dominant  one.  This  frequency  is 

f  ?  0.6/1. 5  -  0.4  cps  .  (2.58) 

Because  of  the  nearly  periodic  character  of  the  waves  in  the  secondary  component 
of  the  velocity  diagram,  the  second  peak  would  be  expected  at  a  frequency  close 
to  the  average  frequency  of  these  waves,  or  at 

f  -  ljo.1  ■  1.4  cps  . 


2-66 


These  results  are  in  good  agreement  with  the  exact  values  shown  in  Fig.  2.53* 

The  magnitude  of  the  first  peak  value  of  V  would  be  estimated  from 
the  expression 

V  -  1.5(25.1)  +  0.7  (10.6)  =  1*5  in/sec.  (2.59) 

where  the  first  term  on  the  right-hand  member  gives  the  contribution  of  the 
first  four  waves  in  accordance  with  Eq.  2.54,  and  the  second  term  represents 
a  liberal  estimate  of  the  contribution  of  the  fifth  wave.  The  amplification 
factor  of  1.5  Is  not  appropriate  for  the  latter  wave,  because  its  duration  is 
only  0.6/l. 5  times  that  of  the  most  dominant  pulse.  The  factor  0.7  was  determined 
from  the  spectrum  for  a  versed-sine  velocity  pulse  given  in  Fig.  2.17a  by  taking 
the  ordinate  of  the  curve  at  a  value  of  tjf  *  0.6(0. 4)  *  0.24,  where  0.4  cps 
represents  the  frequency  determined  in  Eq.  2.56. 

The  value  of  V  given  in  Eq.  2.59  may  be  expected  to  represent  an 
upper  bound  to  the  effect  of  the  primary  velocity  component  for  systems  with 
0  -  0.02.  Because  of  the  nearly  periodic  nature  of  the  input  velocity. function, 
the  possible  reduction  due  to  2  percent  critical  damping,  although  small,  is 
not  entirely  negligible  in  this  case.  On  the  other  hand,  this  reduction  will 
be  partially  compensated  by  the  Increase  due  to  the  effect  of  the  secondary 
wave.  Accordingly,  the  estimated  value  should  be  directly  comparable  to  the 
first  maximum  value  of  V  in  Fig.  2.53,  vhlch  is 

V  -  3.30(13.7)  -  45.2  in/sec. 

Referring  now  to  the  ground  acceleration  diagram  presented  in 
Fig.  2.46  it  is  noted  that  the  most  Intense  pulses  are  concentrated  in  the 
region  between  two  and  three  seconds  and  that  there  are  four  half-cycle  pulses 
of  nearly  equal  amplitude  and  an  average  duration  of  about  0.15  sec.  each. 

This  information  suggests  that  the  peak  value  of  A  would  be  controlled  by  this 
portion  of  the  diagram  and  that  it  will  occur  approximately  at  a  frequency 


2-67 


of  about  0.6/0. 15  -  4  seconds.  Furthermore,  the  presence  of  several  high 
Intensity  acceleration  pulses  of  both  shorter  and  greater  durations  suggests 
that  the  value  of  A  would  he  close  to  its  maximum  value  for  a  fairly  vide  range 
of  natural  frequencies.  These  trends  are  substantiated  by  the  actual  data 
presented  in  Figs.  2*51  and  2.55.  That  the  response  of  a  system  having  a  natural 
frequency  of  the  order  of  4  cps  is  indeed  controlled  by  the  high  intensity 
portion  of  the  ground  acceleration  diagram  can  clearly  be  seen  from  the  dashed 
line  curve  in  Fig.  2.53,  which  shows  that  the  majority  of  the  data  points  in 
the  frequency  range  between  2  and  5  seconds  correspond  to  a  value  of  tQ  -  2.7 
seconds. 

Concerning  the  magnitude  of  the  peak  value  of  A,  it  can  only  be  noted 
that  the  computed  value  for  an  undamped  system  is  about  9.5  VQ,  for  a  system 
with  p  -  0.02  it  is  4.5  yQ,  and  for  a  system  with  0  •  0.40  it  is  almost  equal 
to  y  .  It  is  particularly  noteworthy  that  the  entire  right-hand  portion  of  the 
spectrum  for  0  ■  0.40  is  represented  almost  exactly  by  the  diagonal  line 
A  «  yQ.  This  is  also  true  of  the  corresponding  spectrum  for  the  Eureka  quake 
presented  in  Fig.  2.49. 

Finally,  noting  that  the  shortest  rise  time  for  the  four  most  Intense 
pulses  in  the  acceleration  diagram  of  the  ground  is  of  the  order  of  0.05  seconds, 
it  is  concluded  that,  for  damped  systems,  the  response  acceleration  A  should 
be  of  the  order  of  yQ  for  values  of  f  greater  than  20  cps .  The  fact  that  the 
value  of  A  for  f  >  10  cps  and  0  ■  0.02  is  almost  twice  as  great  as  the  maximum 
ground  acceleration  should  not  be  surprising,  therefore. 

It  should  perhaps  be  emphasised  that  what  has  been  referred  to  as 
"predicted11  or  "estimated"  data  was  arrived  at  after  the  response  spectra  were 
evaluated.  However,  the  degree  of  agreement  achieved  and  the  straight¬ 
forwardness  of  the  procedure  used  to  arrive  at  these  results  illustrate  clearly 


2-68 


the  Intimate  relationship  that  exists  between  the  response  spectra  for  simple 
pulses  and  those  for  complex  earthquake  motions,  and  should  leave  but  little 
doubt  about  the  possibility  of  determining  these  spectra  vlth  reasonable 
accuracy  from  the  gross  characteristics  cf  the  acceleration,  velocity  and 
displacement  records  of  the  motion. 

In  Figs.  2.55  and  2.56  are  given  response  spectra  for  the  maximum 
positive  and  the  maximum  negative  deformations  of  systems  with  (J  »  0.02  and 
P  “  0.40  for  the  two  earthquake  motions  considered.  In  general,  the  two  sets 
of  curves  are  in  good  agreement  between  each  other.  The  agreement  is  better  in 
the  case  of  the  El  Centro  motion  because  the  positive  ahd  negative  parts  of 
the  acceleration  and  velocity  records  of  this  motion  are  more  nearly  balanced 
about  the  zero  line  than  are  those  of  the  records  for  the  Eureka  earthquake. 

2.16  Bpectra  for  Other  Response  quantities 

2.16.1  Spectra  for  Relative  Velocity.  For  the  class  of  ground  motions 
considered  in  this  study,  it  has  been  shown  in  Section  2.4  that  the  relative 
velocity  u  due  to  an  input  velocity  function  y2(t)  is  the  same  as  the  deformation 
u  produced  by  a  displacement  function  y^(t)  of  the  same  shape.  Each  response 
quantity  is  considered  to  be  normalized  with  respect  to  the  maximum  value  of 
the  corresponding  input  function. 

It  is  desirable  to  plot  the  spectral  values  of  u  on  a  four-way 
logarithmic  plot  similar  to  that  used  earlier,  with  the  vertical  and  the 
diagonal  scales  representing  the  quantities  p 0/yQ  and  p^O/jT ,  as  shown 
in  part  (b)  of  Fig.  2.57*  The  resulting  spectrum  for  a  prescribed  velocity 
function  will  then  be  identical  to  the  deformation  spectrum  corresponding  to  a 
displacement  function  of  the  same  shape.  The  spectra  for  U  can,  therefore,  be 
constructed  approximately  by  application  of  the  design  rules  presented  earlier. 


2-69 


In  particular,  the  U  spectrum  for  a  half-cycle  acceleration  pulse  may  he 
approximated  hy  the  diagram  given  in  Fig.  2.23,  and  the  corresponding  spectra 
for  a  half-cycle  velocity  pulse  and  a  half-cycle  displacement  pulse  (i.e.  full 
cycle  velocity  pulse)  may  he  approximated  hy  the  diagrams  given  in  Figs.  2.26 
and  2.33,  respectively. 

In  Figs.  2.58ataad:  2.58b  the  relative  velocity  spectra  for  the 
earthquake  records  are  plotted  in  the  form  described  above  for  systems  With 
coefficients  of  damping  between  zero  and  40  percent  critical.  The  right-hand 
diagonal  scale  is  not  shown  because  the  values  of *¥  for  the  input  motions,  are 
not  known.  The  spectra  in  Figs.  2. 58a  and  2.38b  can  also  be  interpreted  as  the 
deformation  spectra  for  ground  motions  the  velocity  diagrams  of  which  have  the 
same  shape  as  the  acceleration  diagrams  of  the  Eureka  and  the  El  Centro  earth¬ 
quakes,  respectively.  It  is  of  Interest  to  note  in  passing  that  the  effect  of 
damping  in  the  high-frequency  regions  of  these  spectra  is  considerably  more 
pronounced  them  for  the  corresponding  deformation  spectra  given  in  Figs.  2.49 
and  Fig.  2.31.  This  difference  is  due  to  the  discontinuous  nature  of  the  y* 
diagrams  and  might  have  been  anticipated  from  the  data  given  earlier. 

2.16.2  Comparison  of  Pseudo-Velocity  and  True  Relative  Velocity. 

In  the  field  of  earthquake  engineering,  the  relative  velocity  U  has  sometimes 
used  in  lieu  of  the  pseudo- velocity  V.  The  degree  of  approximation  involved  in 
replacing  one  quantity  by  the  other  has  been  investigated  recently  by  Hudson 
(Ref.  9)  for  three  earthquake  motions.  The  minimum  value  of  natural  frequency 
considered  in  this  study  was  about  0.27  cps,  and  the  maximum  value  ranged  from 
about  3  cps  to  12  cps  for  the  three  records.  In  general,  the  values  of  V  and  U 
were  found  to  be  in  close  agreement  between  each  other,  but  in  some  cases  the 
differences  were  of  the  order  of  40  percent  for  systems  with  0  -  0.20. 


2-70 


This  problem  was  also  investigated  in  the  present  study  considering 
a  wider  range  of  natural  frequencies  than  that  used  before.  Both  pulse-like 
excitations  and  earthquake  motions  were  considered.  Fig.  2.39  shows  the  results 
obtained  for  an  undamped  system  subjectedto  a  skewed  versed-sine  velocity  pulse 
with  tj/t^  «  l/4.  For  values  of  t^f  between  O.J  and  0.9  the  two  quantities  are 
Identical  because  they  both  attain  their  maximum  values  during  free  vibration 
when  the  system  executes  a  simple  harmonic  motion  and,  consequently,  U  «  pU  *  V. 
In  the  low  frequency  region  of  the  spectrum  V  is  smaller  than  U.  As  t^f -vO, 
the  deformation  U-*-  yQ,  the  relative  velocity  U— -yQ,  but  the  pseudo- velocity 
V  «  pU  -*•  0  by  virtue  of  the  fact  that  p  -*•  0.  In  the  high  frequency  region  of 
the  spectrum,  V  is  greater  than  U,  the  difference  between  the  two  quantities 
increasing  with  increasing  frequency. 

Similar  plots  are  given  in  Figs.  2.60  for  systems  with  2  percent 
critical  damping  subjected  to  the  Eureka  and  El  Centro  earthquake  motions. 

The  striking  similarities  between  these  plots  and  those  presented  in  Fig.  2.59 
are  further  evidence  of  the  Intimate  relationship  that  exists  between  the 
spectra  for  pulse-like  excitations  and  earthquake  motions.  The  agreement 
between  the  two  quantities  at  high  frequencies  is  better  for  the  El  Centro 
motion  because  the  dominant  waves  for  this  motion  are  of  shorter  duration,  t^, 
than  for  the  Eureka  record,  with  the  result  that  the  frequency  parameter  t^f 
is  comparatively  closer  to  the  region  where  U  and  V  may  be  considered  to  be  the 
same. 

The  effect  of  damping  on  the  relationship  between  V  and  U  is 
illustrated  in  Figs.  2.6la  and  2.6lb  which  should  be  self-explanatory . 

2.16.3  Spectra  for  absolute  Acceleration.  The  absolute  acceleration 
X  for  a  system  without  damping  is  equal  to  the  pseudo-acceleration  A.  Accordingly, 
it  may  be  determined  directly  from  the  right-hand  diagonal  scale  if  the 
deformation  spectrum.

As  a  measure  of  the  error  involved  in  taking  X  ■  A  when  £  /  0,  in 

Fig.  2.62a  the  response  spectra  for  these  two  quantities  are  compared  for 

systems  with  p  »  0.20  and  p  -  1.00,  and  in  Fig.  2.62b  the  ratio  A/x  is  plotted 

as  a  function  of  frequency  for  different  values  of  damping.  The  ground  motion 

in  this  comparison  is  a  versed-sine  velocity  pulse.  In  Fig.  2.63  are  given 

similar  results  for  systems  subjected  to  the  ground  motions  of  the  Eureka  and 

the  El  Centro  earthquakes..  As  before,  the  salient  features  of  the  curves  for 

the  simple  pulses  and  the  earthquake  motions  are  the  same.  Even  for  large 

•• 

amounts  of  damping,  the  quantities  X  and  A  are  very  nearly  the  same  at  high 
frequencies.  However,  in  the  low  frequency  region,  the  differences  between 
the  two  quantities  are  appreciable  for  large  values  of  p. 

2.16.4  Spectra  for  Absolute  Velocity  and  Absolute  Displacement.  It 
is  convenient  to  plot  the  spectra  for  these  quantities  on  the  four-way 
logarithmic  grid  used  previously,  with  the  diagonal  and  vertical  scales  normalized 
as  shown  in  parts  (c)  and  (d)  of  Fig.  2.37*  In  this  figure  the  quantities 
[/y(,)i i  "*  [/</ y(,)4T)iti  represent,  respectively,  the  maximum  values 


of  the  first  and  the  second  integrals  of  the  ground  displacement  function. 

By  tirtue  of  Eq.  2.11,  the  spectrum  of  X  corresponding  to  a  ground 
velocity  function  can  also  be  Interpreted  as  the  acceleration  spectrum  for  an 
input  acceleration  having  the  shape  of  the  prescribed  velocity  function. 
Similarly,  the  spectrum  of  X  for  a  given  displacement  function  can  he  interpreted 
as  that  of  X  due  to  an  input  acceleration  of  the  shape  of  the  prescribed 
displacement  function.  Recalling  now  that,  for  lightly  damped  systems,  X  may 
be  replaced  by  the  pseudo- acceleration  A,  it  is  concluded  that  the  velocity 
spectrum  X  for  a  prescribed  velocity  disturbance  may  be  considered  to  be  the 
same  as  the  deformation  spectrum  for  an  acceleration  disturbance  of  the  same 
shape.  A  similar  statement  cafe  also  be  made  for  the  displacement  spectrum  X. 


2-72 


The  deformation  spectra  can,  of  course,  he  approximated  by  application  of  the 
appropriate  design  rules  presented  in  this  report.  It  must  be  emphasized  that 
this  approach  is  valid  only  for  lightly  damped  systems. 

As  an  illustration,  in  Fig.  2.64  are  given  velocity  spectra,  plotted 
in  the  form  described  above,  for  systems  subjected  to  the  full-cycle  velocity 
pulse  considered  previously  in  Fig.  2.37*  As  would  be  expected  from  the 
preceding  discussion,  the  spectrum  for  £  *  0  is  similar  to  the  deformation 
spectrum  corresponding  to  a  full -cycle  acceleration  pulse  (half-cycle 
displacement  pulse),  such  as  that  considered  in  Fig.  2.34.  It  is  important  to 
note  that  the  trends  of  corresponding  curves  in  Figs.  2.34  and  2.64,  while 
similar  to  each  other  for  medium- frequency  and  high-frequency  systems,  differ 
significantly  for  low-frequency  systems  with  values  of  0  on  the  order  of  0.2 
or  more.  These  differences  cure  analogous  to  those  between  the  quantities  A 
and  X  considered  in  Figs.  2.62. 

In  Figs.  2.63a  and  2.63b  are  given  Bimilar  spectra  for  the  Eureka 
and  El  Centro  Earthquake  records.  For  values  of  0  less  than  about  0.10,  these 
spectra  can  also  be  interpreted  as  deformation  spectra  for  ground  motions  the 
acceleration  diagrams  of  which  have  the  shapes  of  the  velocity  diagrams  of 
the  earthquake  motions  considered.

SECTION  3 

RESPONSE  OF  INELASTIC  SYSTEMS 


3.1  General 

This  chapter  is  concerned  with  the  response  of  inelastic  systems 
having  a  single  degree  of  freedom.  Primary  attention  is  given  to  elastoplastic 
systems  and,  in  an  exploratory  way,  to  bilinear  systems  of  the  softening  type. 
Only  the  max  liman  deformations  of  the  systems  are  investigated. 

Figure  3.1a  shows  the  resistance-deformation  relationship  for  a 
bilinear  system.  The  symbols  and  kg  denote  the  slopes  of  the  first  and 
second  portions  of  the  diagram  as  indicated.  For  a  bilinear  system  of  the 
softening  type,  k^  <  k^,  and  for  an  elastoplastic  system,  kg  »  0.  The  yield 
levels  in  the  two  directions  of  deformation  are  considered  to  be  the  same,  and 
unloading  from  a  point  of  maximum  deformation  is  assumed  to  take  place  along  a 
line  parallel  to  the  initial  elastic  portion  of  the  curve.  A  typical  cycle  of 
loading,  unloading  and  reloading  is  shown  in  the  figure.  The  yield  point 
deformation  is  denoted  by  u  ,  and  the  absolute  maximum  deformation,  without 

y 

regards  to  sign,  is  denoted  by  uffl.  In  an  analogous  manner,  the  yield  point 
resistance  is  designated  by  Q^,  and  the  maximum  spring  force  by  For  an 
elastoplastic  system,  the  force  Q^is,  of  course,  equal  to  for  deformations 
in  excess  of  the  yield  point  deformation. 

The  ground  motions  considered  Include  five  pulse-like  excitations  and 
the  two  earthquake  records  used  in  the  study  of  elastic  systems.  In  addition, 
the  effects  of  certain  limiting  forms  of  excitation  are  studied.  The 
acceleration,  velocity  and  displacement  diagrams  for  the  simple  pulses  are 
shown  in  Fig.  3.2.  The  acceleration  diagrams  consist  of  straight  line  segments 
and,  except  for  one  pulse,  they  are  discontinuous  at  the  beginning  and  the  end 


5-1 


of  the  diagram.  The  velocity  diagrams  have  from  one  to  four  parabolic  half¬ 
cycles  of  oscillation.  Hie  initial  values  of  the  velocity  and  displacement 
diagrams  axe  zero  in  all  cues. 


3.2  Definitions  and  Fundamental  Relations 

It  is  convenient  and  instructive  to  relate  the  maximum  response  of 

the  inelastic  system  to  that  of  an  elastic  system  having  the  same  stiffness  as 

the  initial  stiffness  of  the  inelastic  system.  Let  uq  be  the  absolute*  value 

of  the  maximum  deformation  of  the  associated  elastic  system,  and  be  the 

corresponding  spring  force,  as  shown  in  Fig.  5. lb.  The  yield  resistance  of  the 

inelastic  system,  Q  ,  may  then  be  expressed  as  a  fraction  of  the  resistance  Q 

y  o 

required  for  elastic  behavior.  The  ratio  which  is  also  equal  to  u y/uQ, 

will  be  referred  to  as  the  reduction  factor  and  will  be  denoted  by  the  symbol  c. 
That  is, 

Q  u 

(3-1) 


Q  u 

c  •  -X  ■  -X 
Q  u 
o  o 


For  an  elastic  system,  the  quantities  and  u^  may  be  considered  to  be  equal 
to  and  uq,  respectively.  Accordingly,  the  reduction  factor  is  equal  to 
unity  in  this  case.  For  a  system  that  deforms  in  the  inelastic  range,  c  is 
evidently  smaller  than  unity. 

The  reciprocal  of  the  reduction  factor,  l/c,  expresses  the  intensity 

of  the  ground  motion  in  terms  of  that  which  the  system  can  withstand  elastically, 

and  will  be  referred  to  as  the  overload  factor. 

The  maximum  deformation  of  the  inelastic  system,  u  ,  can  conveniently 

m 

be  expressed  in  terms  of  its  yield  point  deformation,  u  .  The  dimensionless 


ratio

3.3  Response  to  Limiting  Forms  of  Ground  Excitation 

With  a  view  of  establishing  certain  guide  lines  for  the  interpretation 
of  the  results  to  be  presented  later,  we  consider  first  the  relationships 
between  the  deformation  of  the  elastoplastic  system  and  the  associated 

elastic  system  for  certain  limiting  forms  of  ground  excitation.  These  include 

(a)  an  Instantaneous  displacement  change, 

(b)  an  instantaneous  velocity  change,  and 
(e)  an  instantaneous  acceleration  change. 

The  system  is  presumed  to  be  undamped  and  initially  at  rest.

an  Instantaneous  displacement  change,  -yQ,  the  "initial"  value  of  the  resulting 
deformation  will  be  y  ,  irrespective  of  whether  the  system  behaves  elastically 
or  deforms  in  the  plastic  range.  Furthermore,  since  there  is  no  additional 
energy  Imparted  to  the  system  after  the  displacement  change  has  taken  place, 
the  extremum  values  of  deformation  for  the  ensuing  motion  will  be  numerically 
equal  to  or  less  than  yQ,  and  the  initial  deformation  will  be  the  absolute 
maximum  deformation.  In  other  words.

Note  that  this  expression  is  independent  of  the  ratio  kg/k^. 

As  an  illustration.  Fig.  3.1c  shows  the  resistance-deformation 
diagram  of  an  elastoplastlc  system  with  uy  <  yQ.  The  abscissas  of  points  b 
and  c  define,  respectively,  the  deformations  of  the  inelastic  and  the  associated 
elastic  systems  immediately  after  the  initial  displacement  change.  The 
extremum  values  of  deformation  for  the  ensuing  motion  will  correspond  to  points 
c  and  c'  of  this  figure  for  the  elastic  system,  and  to  points  b  and  b'  for  the 
elastoplastlc  system. 

Although  the  initial  deformations  for  the  inelastic  and  elastic 
systems  are  the  same  under  the  conditions  assumed,  the  energies  imparted  to 
these  two  systems  are  different.  The  energy  imparted  to  an  elastic  system  is

system  by  an  Instantaneous  velocity  change,  vq,  is  ^  mv^  ,  irrespective  of 
whether  the  system  remains  elastic  or  not.  Consequently,  the  energies  absorbed 
by  an  elastic  and  an  inelastic  system  up  to  the  point  of  their  respective 
maximum  deformation  will  also  be  the  same.  This  equality  is  expressed  by  the 
equation 

\  *1  uo  "  ?  V  'V  [(*  -  X)  *  ^  ’  1)2]  (5-9) 

whence 

uQ2  -  uy2  [(2u  -  1)  +  ^  (m  -  l)2] 
and  the  reduction  factor  becomes 


c  -  ■  =  =  ■■■■■  ■  .  ,  (3*10) 

J(2n  -  l)  +  ^  (u  -  l)2 

Consider  now  an  elastic  and  an  inelastic  system  subjected  to  a 
prescribed  motion  of  arbitrary  shape,  but  assume  that  the  conditions  are  such 
that  (a)  the  absolute  maximal  deformations  of  both  systems  occur  during  free 
vibration  and  (b)  no  yielding  occurs  during  forced  vibration. 


3-5 


By  virtue  of  the  second  restriction,  the  energy  of  the  two  systems 
at  the  beginning  of  free  vibration  will  be  the  same,  and,  from  the  material 
Just  presented,  It  follovs  that  the  maximum  deformations  of  these  systems  will 
also  be  governed  by  Eq.  3.9 ,  with  the  reduction  factor  c  given  by  Eq.  3. 10. 

3.3.3  Instantaneous  Acceleration  Change.  The  effect  of  a  ground 
acceleration,  y(t),  can  most  conveniently  be  analyzed  by  considering  the 
equivalent  problem  of  a  force  -my(  t)  applied  to  a  fixed-base  structure. 

For  an  acceleration  step  of  infinite  duration,  yQ,  the  work  performed 
by  the  external  force  up  to  the  point  of  maximum  deformation  is  [  -m  y  uj »  and 
the  energy  absorbed  by  the  structure  is  given  by  the  right-hand  member  of 
Eq.  3.9*  By  equating  these  two  quantities,  one  obtains

3.3.4  Discussion.  The  results  presented  in  the  preceding  para- 
graphs  can  be  summarized  as  follows: 

(a)  For  a  system  subjected  to  an  Instantaneous  displacement  change, 
the  maximum  deformations  of  the  elastic  and  inelastic  systems  are  the  same. 

(b)  For  a  system  subjected  to  an  instantaneous  velocity  change,  the 
energy  absorbed  by  the  system  up  to  the  point  of  maximum  deformation  for  the 
elastic  case  is  the  same  as  that  for  the  inelastic  case,  and  the  reduction 
factor  is  given  by  Eq.  3. 10.  This  relationship  is  also  valid  for  an  arbitrary 
ground  motion,  provided  the  elastic  and  the  inelastic  systems  both  reach  their 
absolute  maximum  deformation  during  free  vibration,  and  the  inelastic  system 
behaves  elastically  during  forced  vibration.  The  latter  condition  requires 
that  the  yield  level  of  the  system  be  equal  to  or  greater  than  the  maximum 
deformation  attained  by  the  elastic  system  during  forced  vibration. 


3-7 


(c)  For  a  system  subjected  to  an  instantaneous  acceleration  change, 
the  spring  force  for  the  inelastic  system  can  be  no  less  than  50  percent 

of  that  for  the  associated  elastic  system,  the  actual  magnitude  of  the  reduction 
being  a  function  of  the  ratio  and  of  the  amount  of  inelastic  deformation 

that  can  be  tolerated  (See  Eq.  3*13)* 

It  would  be  expected  that  the  first  relationship  involving  con¬ 
servation  of  maximum  deformations  would  also  be  applicable  to  systems  subjected 
to  ground  displacements  for  which  the  rise  time  is  small  in  comparison  to  the 
natural  period  of  the  system.  The  second  relationship,  involving  conservation 
of  energies,  would  be  expected  to  apply  also  to  quarter-cycle  velocity  pulses 
for  which  the  rise  time  is  small  in  comparison  to  the  natural  period  of  the 
system  (i.e.,  half -cycle  acceleration  pulses  of  short  duration),  and,  possibly, 
to  half -cycle  velocity  pulses  of  short  rise  time  and  sufficiently  long  decay 
time  such  that,  at  the  time  of  the  first  maxim*  deformation,  the  value  of 
the  ground  velocity  is  close  to  its  maxi  mm  value.  Finally,  the  third  relation¬ 
ship  would  also  be  expected  to  be  valid  for  acceleration  pulses  with  a  sharp 
rise  — *  long  duration  in  comparison  to  the  natural  period  of  the  system. 

In  the  following  table  are  listed  the  values  of  the  reduction  factor, 
c,  and  of  the  ratio  ^m/uc  corresponding  to  different  values  of  the  ductility 
ratio  for  the  three  limiting  forms  of  excitation  investigated.  The  systems 
considered  are  of  the  elastoplastic  type,  i.e.  ^/^l  *

It  can  be  seen  from  this  table  that  even  a  relatively  small  amount  of  Inelastic 
deformation,  as  represented  by  a  value  of  u  on  the  order  of  1.5,  produces  a 
significant  reduction  in  the  value  of  the  required  yield  resistance  and  a 
relatively  small  increase  in  the  value  of  the  maximum  deformation.  Considering 
that  for  values  of  u  less  than  2  the  values  of  the  reduction  factor  and  of  the 
ratio  um/u0  for  the  three  forms  of  excitation  differ  by  less  than  55  percent, 
it  is  concluded  that  the  form  of  excitation  is  not  a  very  significant  parameter 
as  long  as  the  magnitude  of  inelastic  deformation  involved  is  small.  However, 
for  the  greater  values  of  u,  the  differences  between  the  three  sets  of  results 
are  quite  important,  especially  when  the  effects  of  a  displacement  change  and 
an  acceleration  change  are  compared.  The  results  for  a  velocity  change  are 
intermediate  between  those  for  a  displacement  change  and  an  acceleration  change. 

5.^  Relations  Between  Response  of  Elastic  and  Inelastic  Systems 

In  Fig.  5.5  the  response  spectrum  for  the  absolute  maximum  deformation 
u^  of  elastoplaatlc  systems  with  c  *  0.25  is  compared  with  the  spectrum  for  the 
corresponding  deformation  uq  of  the  associated  elastic  systems.  The  inelastic 
spectrum  is  applicable  to  systems  for  which  the  yield  level  is  one  fourth  of 
that  required  for  elastic  behavior,  or  alternatively,  to  ground  motions  that  are 
four  times  as  Intense  as  those  which  the  systems  can  withstand  elastically.  The 
ground  motion  is  the  parabolic  velocity  pulse  considered  earlier  in  Figs.  2.19 
and  2.20.  The  systems  are  considered  to  have  no  damping  and  to  be  initially  at 
rest.  The  natural  frequency  of  the  inelastic  system  is  determined  from  the  slope 
of  the  initial  elastic  portion  of  the  resistance-deformation  diagram. 

It  can  be  seen  from  this  figure  that  the  same  percentage  reduction  in 

the  yield  level  of  the  system  (or  equivalently,  the  same  overload)  has  quite 
different  effects  on  systems  with  different  natural  frequencies.  For  flexible 
systems,  u  and  u  are  equal;  for  high-frequency  systems,  u  is  significantly 

greater  than  uQ;  and  for  medium- frequency  systems,  u^  is  smaller  than  uQ. 


3-9 


Figures  3*4  show  the  effect  of  progressively  reducing  the  yield 
level  of  the  elastoplastic  system,  lhe  reduction  factor,  c,  is  plotted  as  a 
function  of  the  ductility  ratio,  u,  for  fixed  values  of  the  frequency  parameter. 

It  is  noted  that  for  values  of  t^f  <0.2,  the  reduction  factor  is 
represented  almost  exactly  "by  the  expression  l/y  (Eq.  3.6);  in  other  words,  the 
maximum  deformations  of  the  inelastic  and  elastic  systems  are  the  same, 
irrespective  of  the  yield  level  involved. 

For  values  of  t^f  >  1,  the  reduction  factors  are  generally  greater 
than  those  obtained  by  the  relation  1/ u;  furthermore,  they  are  quite  sensitive 
to  variations  in  the  value  of  t^f,  as  can  readily  be  seen  from  Fig.  3.4b.  As 
t^f  approaches  Infinity,  the  input  function  approaches  an  acceleration  step  of 
long  duration  and,  as  would  be  expected  from  the  discussion  in  Section  3.3, 
the  results  approach  the  relation  c  -  u/(2 u  -  l),  which  is  a  specialized  form 
of  Eq.  3.12. 

For  the  particular  case  investigated,  the  expression  c  «  l//2u  -  1, 
which  defines  the  effect  of  an  instantaneous  velocity  change,  may  be  considered 
to  be  valid  for  a  value  of  t^f  of  about  1.23.  It  can  be  shown  that  for  this 
value  of  t^f,  the  ratio  V/yQ  for  the  associated  elastic  system  is  slightly 
smaller  than  unity. 

Figure  3* 4c,  which  refers  to  a  value  of  t^f  ■  0.5#  is  typical  of  the 
results  obtained  for  medium- frequency  systems.  In  this  case,  the  absolute 
mnHnmm  deformation  of  the  elastic  system,  uQ,  occurs  during  free  vibration 
and  corresponds  to  the  second  extremum  value,  while  the  first  extremum  occurs 
during  forced  vibration  and  is  equal  to  0.37  uq.  The  curve  abc  in  this  figure 
refers  to  the  first  extremum,  and  the  curve  de  refers  to  the  second.  For 
values  of  0.57uq  <  uy  <  uq,  yielding  initiates  after  termination  of  the  pulse, 
and,  as  would  be  anticipated  from  the  material  presented  in  Section  3*5*2,  the 
equation  of  line  ab  is  c  ■  l//2u  -  1. 


3-10 


We  digress  now  from  the  discussion  of  Fig.  5. 4c  and  refer  to 
Fig.  3.5  to  define  the  conditions  under  vhich  the  expression  c  -  l//2|i  -  1  is 
applicable.  The  dashed  curve  in  this  figure  gives  the  marl  man  deformation  of 
an  elastic  system  during  forced  vibration,  and  the  solid  curve,  discontinued 
in  the  regions  vhere  it  lies  below  the  dashed  curve,  gives  the  corresponding 
deformation  during  free  vibration.  It  follows  that  the  equation  c  -  l/72ji  -  1 
is  valid  in  the  regions  of  the  spectrum  vhere  the  absolute  maxi  mas  deformation 
occurs  during  free  vibration,  provided  the  yield  level  of  the  system  u  is 

y 

greater  than  the  value  of  deformation  obtained  from  the  dashed  curve.  For 
example,  for  t^f  *  0.68,  vhere  the  difference  between  the  ordinates  of  the  two 
curves  is  greatest,  the  expression  l//2 y  -  1  will  be  valid  for  values  of 


From  the  table  given  on  p.  it  can  be  seen  that  these  values  of  u y/uQ  correspond 
to  values  of  u  <  2.3. 

Returning  now  to  Fig.  3.4c,  ve  observe  that  as  uy  is  decreased  below 
0.37  uq,  yielding  initiates  during  forced  Vibration,  and  the  expression 


c  «  1//ST7T  no  longer  applicable.  In  fact,  the  magnitude  of  the  second 
extremum  decreases  sharply,  as  can  be  seen  from  the  break  of  the  curve  abc  at 
point  b.  However,  for  values  of  u^,  between  those  corresponding  to  points  d  and 
f ,  the  absolute 


deformation  still  corresponds  to  the  second  ext: 


Finally,  as  uy  approaches  its  limiting  value  of  zero,  the  value  of  the 
deformation  will  approach  the  maximal  displacement  of  the  ground,  yQ. 

It  should  be  noted  that  there  can  be  more  than  one  yield  level 
corresponding  to  a  given  value  of  y.  Fig.  3.4c  shews  three  yield  levels 
corresponding  to  a  value  of  y  >2.  Although  all  three  of  these  solutions  are 
distinct  and  "stable",  from  a  design  standpoint  it  is  desirable  to  consider 


3-11 


only  the  one  corresponding  to  the  highest  yield  level.  This  amounts  to 
replacing  the  portion  of  be  vhlch  curves  to  the  left  by  the  vertical  shown 
dotted. 

Figures  3.6a  and  3.6b  show  the  relationship  between  the  reduction 
factor  and  the  ductility  factor  for  elastoplastic  systems  subjected  to  parabolic 
velocity  pulses  with  one  and  two  cycles  of  oscillation,  as  shown  in  the  inset 
diagrams.  In  each  case,  the  frequency  parameter  t^f  »  0.50. 

For  the  conditions  considered  In  Fig.  3.6a,  the  iMAx-iimim  deformation 

of  the  elastic  system,  uq,  corresponds  to  the  third  extremum,  and,  as  a 

consequence,  the  resulting  plot  consists  of  three  branches  with  two  transition 

curves.  As  an  Illustration  of  the  significance  of  the  various  branches,  ve 

note  that,  for  values  of  O.O56  u  <  u  <  0.28  u  ,  yielding  initiates  at  the 

o  y  o  . 

instant  that  the  associated  elastic  system  attains  its  first  extremum,  but 
that  the  absolute  maximum  deformation  is  obtained  at  the  second  extremum  instead 
of  at  the  first.  Under  the  conditions  considered  in  Fig.  3.6b,  the  peak 
deformation  uq  corresponds  to  the  fifth  extremum,  and,  consequently,  the  graph 
consists  of  five  branches  with  four  transition  curves. 

It  must  be  emphasized  that  the  discontinuities  in  the  plots  presented 
in  Figs.  3»4c  and  3*6  for  medium- frequency  systems  do  not,  in  general,  occur 
for  systems  with  low  and  high  frequencies,  because  the  order  of  the  controlling 
maximum  in  the  latter  cases  is  usually  the  same  for  the  elastic  and  the 
inelastic  systems. 

In  Figs.  3.7a  through  3>dc  is  presented  information  on  the  response 
of  elastoplastic  systems  subjected  to  the  two  earthquake  motions  considered  in 
the  study  of  elastic  systems.  The  plots  in  Figs.  3*7  are  analogous  to  those 
given  in  Fig.  3.3,  and  the  plots  in  Figs.  3.8  are  analogous  to  those  given  in 
Figs.  3.4  and  3.6.  The  similarities  between  these  curves  and  the  corresponding 
curves  for  the  simple  pulses  are  indeed  most  Impressive. 


3-12 


In  Fig.  3.9  the  spectra  of  maxi  man  deformation  for  elastoplastic 


and  elastic  systems  subjected  to  the  Eureka  earthquake  are  compared  vith  those 
for  bilinear  systems  with  k^/k^  «0.2.  The  yield  level  of  each  inelastic 
system  is  considered  to  be  one  fourth  of  that  required  for  elastic  behavior. 

It  can  be  seen  that,  in  the  low-frequency  region  of  the  spectrum,  the  maximum 
deformations  for  all  systems  are  for  all  practical  purposes  identical.  In  the 
medium- frequency  region,  the  differences  in  the  results  are  greater  but  still 
insignificant.  The  major  differences  occur  in  the  high-frequency  region,  where 
the  results  appear  to  be  quite  sensitive  to  the  ratio  of  kg/k^.  These  general 
trends  are  in  agreement  with  those  obtained  on  the  basis  of  the  limiting  forms 
of  excitation  considered  in  Section  3.3. 

The  effect  of  the  parameter  k^/k^  on  the  maximum  response  of  the 
system  is  illustrated  in  Fig.  3. 10.  Results  are  presented  for  selected  natural 
frequencies  and  yield  levels.  The  systems  are  assumed  to  have  a  damping  factor 
of  2  percent.  It  can  be  seen  that  the  effect  of  k^/k^  is  Important  only  for 
high-frequency  systems. 

3.5  Deformation  Spectra  for  Elastoplastic  Systems 

3.3.I  General.  The  design  of  an  elastoplastic  system  Involves 
essentially  the  determination  of  the  yield  strength  (or  yield  point  deformation) 
necessary  to  limit  the  maximum  Inelastic  deformation  of  the  system  to  a 
prescribed  value.  It  is  desirable,  therefore,  to  define  the  deformation  spectra 
for  Inelastic  systems  in  such  a  manner  that  this  information  can  readily  be 
determined. 

With  this  in  mind,  the  relative  pseudo- velocity  for  an  elastoplastic 
system  la  defined,  as  In  Ref.  10,  by  the  expression 

V  -  puy  (5.14) 


5-15 


where  p  denotes  the  undamped  circular  natural  frequency  of  the  system 

corresponding  to  the  Initial  elastic  range  of  its  load-deformation  diagram, 

and  u  is  the  yield  point  deformation,  (not  the  max  liman  deformation).  Thus, 
* 

the  quantity 


represents  the  max  inn  an  strain  energy  that  the  system  must  be  capable  of  de¬ 
veloping  without  yielding.  The  relative  pseudo -velocity  spectrum  Is  considered 
to  be  a  plot  of  V  against  frequency  for  fixed  values  of  the  ductility  ratio,  (i. 
The  pseudo-acceleration  A,  is  defined  as 


Qy  -  c  w  (3.16) 

where  the  lateral  force  coefficient,  C,  as  In  the  case  of  an  elastic  system, 
is  equal  to  the  value  of  A  expressed  in  units  of  gravity.  For  an  elastoplastlc 
system  without  damping,  Eq.  3.15  Is  also  equal  to  the  maximum  value  of  the 
acceleration  of  the  mass.  It  should  be  noted  that  these  definitions  of  V  and 
A  for  the  Inelastic  system  are  consistent  with  those  used  for  the  elastic 
system,  since,  as  previously  noted,  the  yield  deformation  of  the  elastic  system 
may  be  considered  to  be  equal  to  Its  maximum  defoimatlon. 

On  a  logarithmic  plot  of  V  against  frequency  similar  to  that  used 
for  elastic  systems,  the  set  of  diagonal  lines  extending  In  the  north-east 
direction  represents  values  of  constant  yield  deformation,  u^,  and  the  set  of 
lines  extending  In  the  north-west  direction  represents  values  of  constant  pseudo- 
acceleration.  Thus  the  values  of  u^,  V  and  A  corresponding  to  a  prescribed 
ductility  ratio  can  be  read  directly.  The  value  of  the  maximum 
then  be  determined  from  the  expression  u^  ■  4  uy. 


deformation  can 


3.5*2  Spectra  for  a  Half -Cycle  Acceleration  Pulse.  In  Fig.  3. 11 
are  given  deformation  spectra,  as  defined  above,  for  undamped  systems  with 
ductility  ratios  In  the  range  between  1  (elastic  case)  and  10.  Hie  ground 
motion  Is  an  Initially  peaked  triangular  acceleration  pulse.  As  in  previous 
plots,  the  spectral  quantities  are  normalized  with  respect  to  the  value 

of  the  corresponding  ground  motion.  Note  that  the  ratio  of  the  ordinates  of 
the  curves  for  an  inelastic  and  elastic  system,  represents  the  reduction  factor, 
c,  for  the  particular  condition  considered. 

In  the  low>frequency  region  of  the  spectrum,  the  relationship  between 
the  curves  for  the  inelastic  and  the  elastic  systems  is  represented  almost 
exactly  by  the  expression  c  »  l//2u  -  1  obtained  from  Eq.  3*10.  This  result 
was  anticipated  In  Section  3.3.^,  since  as  t.f  approaches  zero,  the  ground 
velocity  approaches  a  step  function  for  which  Eq.  3. 10  applies  exactly.  In  a 
similar  manner,  the  limiting  values  of  the  pseudo-acceleration  A  at  high 
frequencies  are  as  defined  by  the  right-hand  member  of  Eq.  3.11a.  The 
transition  curves  between  these  limiting  values  are  smooth  in  this  case,  because 
the  absolute  «■  deformations  lb r  both  the  elastic  and  the  Inelastic  systems 

correspond  to  the  first  extremum. 

3.5.3  8pectra  for  Half -Cycle  Velocity  and  Displacement  Pulses.  In 
Figs.  3.12a  through  3*l4b  are  given  deformation  spectra  for  elastoplastlc 
systems  with  zero  and  10  percent  critical  damping  subjected  to  three  different 
forms  of  ground  motion,  as  shown  In  the  inset  diagrams. 

The  data  used  to  prepare  these  plots  were  obtained  on  the  ILLIAC, 
the  digital  coaqmter  of  the  University  of  Illinois  as  follows.  First,  the 
— xlmm  deformation  of  the  elastic  system  was  computed  for  selected  values  of 
the  frequency  parameter.  Then,  the  maximum  response  of  the  inelastic  systems 
waa  evaluated  for  a  range  of  yield  levels,  and  the  results  for  each  value  of 


5-15 


the  frequency  parameter  were  plotted  in  the  form  presented  In  Figs*  2.4  and 

2.6.  The  values  of  u  corresponding  to  the  selected  ductility  ratios  were 

¥ 

finally  determined  from  these  plots* 

The  salient  features  of  these  curves  are  as  follows: 

(a)  At  low  frequencies,  the  relationship  c  ®  l/u  is  applicable  to 

all  cases  considered,  with  the  result  that  both  u  and  u  are  equal  to  the 

o  m 

maximum  ground  displacement,  y  .  Furthermore,  as  the  yield  level  of  the  system 
Is  decreased  (or  as  u  Increases),  the  expression  u^  =  yQ  is  valid  for  a  wider 
range  of  natural  frequencies  than  for  the  corresponding  elastic  system.  This 
trend  Is  particularly  noticeable  In  the  case  of  the  half-cycle  displacement 
pulses  considered  In  Figs.  2.14.  Note  that  the  break  in  the  left-hand  portion 
of  the  curves  in  this  figure  shifts  to  the  right  with  Increasing  values  of  u> 

(b)  At  high  frequencies,  the  limiting  values  of  A  are  essentially 
as  defined  by  Bq.  3.11a*  for  the  ground  motions  which  have  discontinuous 
accelerations.  On  the  other  hand,  for  the  continuous  acceleration  functions, 
the  limiting  value  of  A  may  be  considered  to  be  the  same  for  both  the  elastic 
and  the  Inelastic  systems. 

(c)  In  the  Intermediate  range  of  frequencies,  the  relationship 
between  the'  elastic  and  inelastic  systems  is  In  general  coaplex.  It  can 
broadly  be  said,  however,  that  the  reduction  factors  corresponding  to  a  half¬ 
cycle  displacement  pulse  are  greater  than  those  for  a  half -cycle  velocity  pulse. 

Design  Rules.  For  design  purposes,  the  relationship  between  the 
deformation  spectra  for  elastoplastlc  and  elastic  systems  nay  be  expressed 
approximately  as  follows: 

(l)  For  the  low-frequency  range  of  the  spectrum  for  which  the 
—tHmiwi  deformation  of  an  elastic  system  may  be  considered  to  be  equal  to  the 
maximum  ground  displacement,  yQ,  the  maximum  deformations  of  the  inelastic  and 

^Equation  2.11a  is  strictly  applicable  to  an  undamped  system  only. 


3-16 


elastic  systeas  are  for  all  practical  purposes  the  sums,  i.e. ,  u  -  u  »  y  . 
Consequently,  the  reduction  factor  Is  given  by  the  expression  c  -  l/u. 

(2)  For  the  Intermediate  range  of  frequencies,  this  following 
relationships  are  applicable: 

(a)  When  UQ  Is  equal  to  or  smaller  than  the  navi  mum  Input  dis¬ 
placement  and  VQ  is  of  the  order  of  1.5  times  the  maximum  Input  velocity,  as 
is  the  case  with  half -cycle  velocity  pulses,  the  maximum  deformation  of  the 
Inelastic  and  the  elastic  systems  may  be  considered  to  be  the  same  up  to  a 
value  of  t  .f  slightly  greater  than  the  value  corresponding  to  the  peak  of  the 
elastic  spectrum.  In  this  case,  the  reduction  factor  is  again  given  by  the 
expression  c  «  l/u. 

(b)  On  the  other  hand,  when  UQ  is  greater  than  yQ,  and  Vq  is 
of  the  order  of  2  to  3  times  yQ,  as  is  the  case  with  half-cycle  displacement 
pulses,  the  maximum  deformation  of  the  Inelastic  system  Is  generally  less  than 
that  of  the  corresponding  elastic  system.  In  general,  the  greater  amplification 
factors  of  Uq  and  VQ  for  the  elastic  spectrum,  the  more  conservative  are  the 
results  obtained  by  application  of  the  relation  c  =  l/u.  The  differences  are 
particularly  noticeable  for  the  larger  values  of  u«  However,  If  the  degree  of 
conservatism  Implied  by  the  use  of  this  relationship  can  be  tolerated,  then 

the  expression  c  *  l/u  can  be  considered  to  be  valid  up  to  a  value  of  t^f 
located  approximately  at  one-third  the  distance  between  the  value  of  t^f 
corresponding  to  the  peak  of  the  elastic  spectrum  ana  the  value  of  t^f  beyond 
the  peak  for  which  the  amplification  factor  for  V  is  one. 

(5)  For  the  high-frequency  range  of  the  spectrum  where  the  pseudo- 
acceleration  A  may  be  considered  to  be  constant,  the  relationship  between  the 
inelastic  and  the  elastic  spectra  may  be  stated  in  terms  of  the  magnitude  of 
the  amplification  factor  for  the  elastic  system.  When  the  amplification  factor 


5-17 


Is  of  the  order  of  two,  as  would  be  the  case  for  an  input  acceleration  with  a 
discontinuity  equal  to  the  maximum  input  acceleration,  the  reduction  factor  may 
be  approximated  by  the  expression  c  »  u/(2u  -  1).  On  the  other  hand,  if  the 
amplification  factor  of  A  for  the  elastic  system  is  one,  as  would  be  the  case 
for  an  acceleration  function  without  any  discontinuities,  the  reduction  factor 
may  be  considered  to  be  unity.  In  other  words,  the  ™**<*nm  forces  for  the 
elastoplastic  and  the  elastic  systems  may  be  considered  to  be  equal. 

(4)  For  the  range  of  frequencies  betweeD  those  covered  under  (2)  and 
(3)»  the  reduction  factor  is  sensitive  to  changes  in  the  value  of  the  natural 
frequency.  However,  the  spectrum  curves  for  this  range  can  usually  be  deter¬ 
mined  by  drawing  smooth  transition  curves  between  the  curves  applicable  to  the 
ranges  considered  in  items  (2)  and  (3).  When  this  cannot  be  done  readily,  the 
equations 


nay  be  used  as  guide  posts.  The  first  equation  may  be  considered  to  be  valid 
at  a  frequency  for  which  the  relative  pseudo-velocity  of  the  associated  elastic 
system  is  from  shout  1.0  to  0.8  times  the  maximum  ground  velocity,  and  the 
second  equation  may  be  considered  to  be  valid  at  a  frequency  for  which  the 
pseudo-acceleration  of  the  associated  elastic  system  is  of  the  order  of  2. 

It  follows  that  the  response  spectrum  for  an  elastoplastic  system 
corresponding  to  a  specified  value  of  the  ductility  ratio  can  be  obtained  from 
the  spectrum  applicable  to  the  associated  elastic  system  simply  by  dividing  the 
ordinates  of  the  elastic  spectrum  by  a  factor  which  depends  on  the  value  of  the 
ductility  ratio  but  which  is  different  for  tbs  different  frequency  ranges. 

For  convenience  of  reference,  these  factors  are  suamarlsed  in  Fig.  3.15  for  a 
representative  spectrum  corresponding  to  a  half-cycle  pulse  of  ground  velocity. 

3-18 


In  the  application  of  these  rules  to  design,  it  is  suggested  that  the  spectrum 
for  the  elastic  system  he  represented  by  a  smooth  curve,  without  the  undulations 
that  are  characteristic  of  response  spectra. 

These  rules  are  proposed  for  systems  with  moderate  amounts  of  damping 
(of  the  order  of  10  percent  critical  or  less)  and  ground  motions  for  which  the 
primary  or  dominant  component  may  be  represented  either  by  a  half-cycle  velocity 
pulse  or  by  a  half -cycle  displacement  pulse.  The  reader  is  cautioned  against 
using  these  rules  for  displacement  pulses  with  two  or  more  half -cycles  of  nearly 
equal  amplitudes  and  durations. 

Relative  Effects  of  Damping  and  Inelastic  Action.  On  coeiparlng  the 
inelastic  spectra  presented  in  this  section  with  the  corresponding  spectra  for 
damped  elastic  systems  given  in  Section  2,  it  can  be  seen  that  the  relative 
effects  of  damping  and  inelastic  action  in  reducing  the  magnitude  of  the 
required  resistance  are  quite  different  in  the  various  regions  of  the  spectrum. 
In  particular,  in  the  low-frequency  range  of  the  spectrum  for  which  the  effect 
of  damping  may  be  considered  to  be  negligible,  the  effect  of  inelastic  action 
is  extremely  Important.  These  results  show  clearly  that,  in  general,  the  effect 
of  inelastic  action  cannot  be  considered  in  terms  of  a  fixed  amount  of 
"equivalent  damping". 

5*5*^  Spectra  for  Multiple -Cycle  Velocity  Pulses.  For  half-cycle 
displacement  pulses,  it  has  been  noted  that  in  the  regions  of  the  spectrum 
where  U  and  V  attain  their  maximum  values,  the  absolute  maximum  deformation  of 
the  elastoplastlc  system  is  generally  smaller  than  that  for  the  corresponding 
elastic  system  and  that  the  results  obtained  from  the  expression  c  -  l/u  may 
be  fairly  conservative  for  large  values  of  u. 

This  effect  is  exaggerated  under  more  nearly  periodic  excitations, 
as  can  be  seen  from  the  spectra  presented  in  Figs.  5.16  and  5.17.  These  spectra 


5-19 


are  for  velocity  functions  composed  of  three  and  four  parabolic  half-cycles, 
respectively.  The  details  of  the  input  functions  are  shown  in  the  inset 
diagrams.  Only  the  middle  regions  of  the  spectra  are  presented,  since  at  the 
regions  of  low  and  high  frequency  the  results  are  identical  to  those  presented 
in  Figs.  3.14. 

It  is  of  some  interest  to  note  that,  if  only  the  peak  values  of  the 
curves  corresponding  to  the  Inelastic  and  elastic  curves  are  compared,  the 
expression  l/u  leads  to  reasonably  accurate  results. 

3.5.5  Spectra  for  Earthquake  Motions.  The  deformation  spectra 
presented  in  Figs.  J.lQ  and  3*19  are  self-explanatory.  They  refer  to  systems 
with  2  percent  critical  damping  subjected  to  the  Eureka  and  El  Centro  earth¬ 
quake  records  considered  earlier,  and  are  directly  comparable  to  the  corres¬ 
ponding  spectra  presented  for  simple  ground  motions.  It  is  important  to  note 
that,  even  for  these  complex  input  motions,  the  average  relationships  between 
the  Inelastic  spectra  and  the  corresponding  elastic  spectra  for  the  various 
ranges  of  frequency  are  in  very  good  agreement  with  the  approximate  rules 
presented  for  pulse -type  of  excitations.

APPENDIX  A 


TABULATION. OF  NUMERICAL  SOLUTIONS 

la  this  Appendix  is  tabulated  a  portion  of  the  numerical  data  used 
to  construct  the  response  spectra  presented  in  the  body  of  the  report.  These 
data  were  evaluated  on  the  TLLIAC  using  the  iterative  scheme  of  numerical 
Integration  described  in  Ref.  11,  with  the  acceleration  of  the  mass  assumed 
to  vary  linearly  within  each  step  of  integration.  A  description  of  the 
computer  program  used  is  available  in  Ref.  12.  The  data  for  the  remaining 
spectra  were  obtained  analytically  by  a  formal  solution  of  the  governing 
differential  equation  of  motion. 

For  the  elastic  systems,  the  response  quantities  evaluated  were  the 
absolute  displacement,  absolute  velocity  and  absolute  acceleration  of  the  mass, 
and  the  relative  values  of  the  displacement,  velocity  and  acceleration  between 
the  mass  and  the  ground.  Both  the  maximum  positive  and  the  maximum  negative 
values  of  these  quantities  were  evaluated  together  with  their  respective  times 
of  occurrence.  Some  of  the  deformation  spectra  presented  in  this  report  were 
determined  from  these  results  by  application  of  the  analogies  described  in 
Section  2.4.  For  example,  the  deformation  spectra  in  Figs.  2.?8  through  2.40 
were  determined  from  the  values  of  u  presented  in  Table  A. lb  by  noting  that 
the  values  of  u/xo  this  table  are  also  equal  to  wne  values  of  u/yQ  for  an 
input  motion  for  which  the  shape  of  the  displacement  diagram  is  identical  to 
that  of  the  velocity  diagram  shown  below  the  table  heading.  Similarly,  the 
spectra  in  Figs.  2.42  were  determined  from  the  values  of  u  given  in  Table  A.lc. 
For  the  inelastic  systems,  only  the  absolute  displacement  of  the  mass  and  the 
spring  deformation  were  computed. 


A-l 


For  the  pulse-like  excitations,  the  time  interval  of  integration  used 
in  these  computations  was  l/50th  of  the  undamped  natural  period  of  the  system, 
whereas  for  the  earthquake  motions  it  ranged  between  l/jOth  and  l/70th  of  the 
natural  period.  In  addition  to  these  time  intervals,  the  response  of  the  system 
was  evaluated  at  the  times  for  which  the  ground  acceleration  was  an  extremum. 

It  should  be  noted  that  the  tabulated  data  may  not  be  accurate  to  the  number  of 
significant  figures  reported.  One  of  the  sources  of  inaccuracy  is  the  fact 
that  the  response  of  the  system  is  evaluated  at  discrete  times.  Since  the 
maximum  response  may  occur  between  the  times  at  which  the  response  is  evaluated, 
in  the  absence  of  any  other  inaccur: cles,  the  computed  maxima  must  be 
numerically  smaller  than  the  actual  maxima.  The  detailed  data  follow.

The  acceleration  function  f(r)  Is  considered  to  be  sectlonally  continuous  In 
the  Interval  between  0  and  t. 

The  expression  far  the  relative  velocity,  Is  obtained  by

The  regaining  response  quantities,  8,  i  and  x,  can  now  be  date  rained 
froa  the  equations 

U  ■  x  -  y,  u  ■  x  -  f,  and  u  ■  x  -  jr, 

respectively.  Vote  that  before  x  and  x  can  be  evaluated,  the  quantities  y  and 
y  aust  be  determined  by  integrating  the  prescribed  acceleration  function. 

If  the  ground  notion  Is  specified  as  a  velocity-tine  function,  the 
relative  displacement,  u,  the  absolute  and  relative  velocities,  i  and  u,  and 
the  absolute  acceleration,  %  can  be  expressed  directly  In  terns  of  the 
prescribed  function  as  follows .  The  expression  for  u  is  obtained  by  inte¬ 
grating  the  last  tern  In  lq.  B.l  by  parts  and  c cabining  terns.
